The Germans certainly used them! Father of a Childhood mate drove a Dingo during WW2, and I can remember it being one of the the few things he discussed with us kids, that during the fighting they were able to "Re posess" one of there own Dingoes, complete with German markings. The impression I had was that it must have been in eney service for a couple of years.
For the record, the other item he discussed was being pinned down by enemy fire for sometime (at least a day) and hearing one of his comrades out in no mans land crying for help, and obviously in a lot of pain. The noise eventually stopped, when they finally moved up they found the soldier patched up, with rations and "resting comfortably as can be expected". A German army doctor had managed to get to him first!

Rich.
