If you think this is weird, then what about the Israeli Air Force’s Avia S.199s ? A Nazi design (Czech manufactured Bf.109), instrumental in driving back invading Arab armies during the opening months of the Israeli war of independence !!!

RE: TUAF Focke Wulf and Spitfire
The Turks most certainly did have Focke-Wulfs.They were in fact among some of the first 190’s produced,being A-2 models supplied in 1942.The Turks by all accounts seem to have found them most endearing as they kept them in service into the late 1940’s when the spares ran out.
The Turks also operated Hurricanes aswell as other axis designed aeroplanes,so it wasn’t uncommon to find ‘opposing’ designs sharing the same airfield.The situation was repeated in places like Romania and Finland.
