For example the Germans captured many Allied
aircraft and test flew and
demonstrated them in their own markings. Were
any ever shot down?

I am not considering aircraft captured or purchased
from a capturing force that
were so numerous as to be put into actual operational
service, i.e. the
numerous Polikarpovs and Tupolevs of Finland.

Strangers in a Strange Land by Hans-Henri Stapfer mentions a captured B-17
flown by KG 200 as being shot down by an RAF Mosquito Night Fighter over
France in Feb of '45.
