any good books available on the captured equipment the Germans used during WW2
Well, I hope he was made to return them to their rightful owners in 1946.
Not a book but some relevant eye-candy to look at between book searches
Captured Russian equipment in German hands - from Tanks to Tractors (http://beutepanzer.ru/Beutepanzer/su/su.htm)
Encyclopaedia of German Tanks of WWII by Chamberlain & Doyle has a good section on captured AFVs. From what I've read over the years they used pretty much everything they could get their hands on.
Von Senger und Eterling has a section on it as well. Trucks and lorries - anything goes. And the Afrika Korp used lots of 25pdr.

did you get my email ?
I have a series of books called WW2 Fact Files. Each has a specific subject like machine guns, field artillery and so on. For each entry, there are notes on what use the Germans made of them if they captured any, and for most the German designation is listed as well. Very interesting, but maybe not easy to find?

would that be the Peter Chamberlain books ? seen some of them around for really stupid prices
Yes, Peter Chamberlain and Terry Gander. Published by Macdonald and Jane's. I bought a whole series of them long, long ago when they were going cheap in a discount bookstore. But I'm afraid that's not going to help you now.
