Re: Did Luftwaffe buy captured planes from the Finns?
At Hallinporti Ilmailumuseo there is a Klimov 105P engine on display with a German dataplate stating that it was reconditioned by the Germans.

It's not a confirmation that the exchange took place, but it is at least a confirmation that such engines went from Germany to Finland in some sort of deal.

Best regards
