VE+WW was a Six-engined French CAMS-Potez 161 flying boat. It was flown to Germany in 1944 where its intended purpose was thought to have been as a "Mistel" carrier for attacks on mainland targets , such as the USA. Before this could be trialled, on 17 Sept. 1944, the seaplane was destroyed at its moorings at Bug on the island of Rügen in the Baltic by unidentified Allied fighters.

Re: Captured Seaplanes
I found these images of Latécoère 298 floatplanes after they were captured by the Luftwaffe.
