Realisticly how long would they keep it working, get ammo for etc. A rifle yes a vehicle not long probably, especialy partisans with no maintanence pool.
If you take something like the Germans using captured T-34s about 70% of them were used as recovery vehicles & if anyone had to make do & fix things with what was available it was probably them from mid war on.
Quite a few partisan forces did use captured vehicles in World-War-II-as-we-know-it, and this is modelled in the TO&E's of e.g. Poland and Yugoslavia.

I thought you can use captured equipment. But you must purchase it. You could make yourself a rule that you only purchase equipment that you captured intact in a previous battle.
That's pretty much what I'll do with support points when I play long campaigns.
