If a comparison could be drawn to Viet Nam, I would imagine that carrying of captured weapons was commonplace in WWII, also. I don't think soldiers changed that much between the two conflicts. A co-worker of mine was a sniper attached to an artillery unit in Viet Nam, and he says it was very common for GIs to use captured AKs.
