Yes, they did. Although, exact numbers are hard to find. But Germans in fact often used PPShs. It is at leasts an option to have assault class using it.

"The German Army converted a few captured guns to 9mm (their preferred caliber for pistol ammunition) by changing the barrel and using an adapter in the magazine well to take their MP40 stick magazines. As well as logistical reasons, this was done to eliminate friendly fire incidents as the PPSh-41 has a very distinctive shape. However, on the other hand, this eliminated the 71 round magazines that their German owners liked so much! In German use the PPSh-41 was designated "MP717(R)" - the "R" meaning it was a captured Russian weapon in German military typology."
Bottom line..... how many were "converted" and who did the modifying or was it "in the field" modifying?? In other words, was it done in any appreciable quantities and by whom??.

Simply put...
(Taken from this article on Wikipedia.)
Anytime I see a PPSH or a PPD laying on the battlefield, I will throw whatever weapon I have and pick it up, regardless of the situation I am currently in.
That first article I posted wasn't very well written know that I went back and read it.
