SB-2 bomber

Tupolev SB-2 bomber. Finland had 24 SB bombers from which 8 was captured during the Winter War and 16 was later bought from Germany. The aircraft was used for maritime patrolling and submarine hunting.

I never realised Germany had any Tupolev aircraft.
Did Germany obtain them during the days of the non-agression pact and subsequently decide to sell them off or had the Germans captured them during Barbarossa?

16 or more SB-2’s were captured by German forces during the first weeks of the invasion of the Soviet Union.
