After Polish Defence War in September 1939 Germans captured some of Polish aircraft. Most of them were damaged or destroyed, but about one hundred planes were airworthy. Germans captured 9 almost finished and 5 unfinished PZL P-37, but Polish Resistance destroyed twelve of them. The last two PZL P-37B received German national insignia and were transfered to Rechlin. One of them crashed in May 1940 killing crew. Faith, the second one (photo below) is still unknown.

PZL P-37B exhibited in Vienna (17th Sep - 30 Oct 1940) as a war trophy.
