That could be something like a "Berge Batallion", a salvage unit usually located and assigned to a distinct area. These units deal with all crashed aircraft, enemy or friend. Enemy aircraft is pre evaluated and then depending of its condition being sent to a scrapyard, where usable parts will be removed either for spares or for further evaluation. Otherwise it will be just scrapped up.
