">Nice idea in theory but in practice it just did not work out !<" That depends on if you are advancing or retreating. It work fine during the advance. The same applies to recovering AFVs, the Germans recycled a large proportion of their "destroyed" AFVs during the early salad years. There are quite a few advantages to controlling the battlefield after the battle.

Recovering empty ammunition cases was indeed an important source of recycled raw materials, especially the brass.
