After Polish Defence War in September 1939 Germans captured some of Polish aircrafts. Most of them were damaged or destroyed, but about one hundred planes were airworthy. Although Potez 25 was older type Germans captured and repaired in Mielec plants two planes of that type. Reason is unknown (i.e. Germans left some modern planes, such as PZL.23B), but maybe they wanted to put them in Aviation Museum in Berlin.
