Why all the Beutewaffen?

German Beutewaffen (literally "loot weapons" but more meaningful "captured weapons") are often a topic of discussion and/or fascination for many people. Yet, the question is, why all those Beutewaffen in the first place? What were the reasons? For This, we talk with Jens Wehner from the
Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr Dresden (MHM Dresden) while standing in front of
Infanterieschlepper UE 630 (f), which was originally called Renault UE Chenillette by the French, but repurposed by the Wehrmacht for their own use.
