Hanno,

What I find most astonishing is the large quantity of equipment that was not disabled and was captured in apparently usable condition.

Same goes for Europe and North Africa, I suppose, with the German army picking up plenty of salvageable and usable equipment, and the British Commonwealth armies taking over loads of Italian equipment in the early stages of the North Africa campaigns. A number of Australian units were provided with anti-tank guns of Italian origin, for example, and used them quite effectively against their former owners.
