They used German tanks?

Yes, and the Nazis used Soviet tanks as well. Tanks in the field were often abandoned if they had mechanical problems, ran out of gas, got stuck, as well as tanks that were knocked out but not destroyed. Which ever side held the territory at the end of the battle got the goods. The Soviets, in particular, were excellent at fixing up damaged and even destroyed tanks.

I'm not aware of the Americans or UK reusing German tanks, but I haven't really looked.
