The Allies confiscated large numbers of D.VII aircraft after the [[Armistice with Germany (Compiègne)|Armistice]]. The United States Army and Navy evaluated 142 captured examples.<ref name="swanborough">{{cite book |last1=Swanborough |first1=Gordon |last2=Bowers |first2=Peter M. |title=United States military aircraft since 1908 |date=1971 |publisher=Putnam |isbn=0370000943 |page=610 |edition=Rev.}}</ref> Several of these aircraft were re-engined with American-built [[Liberty L-6]] motors, very similar in appearance to the D.VII's original German power plants. France, Great Britain and Canada also received numbers of war prizes.

Other countries used the D.VII operationally. The Polish deployed approximately 50 aircraft during the [[Polish-Soviet War]], using them mainly for ground attack missions.<ref name="Owers1 p69-70">{{harvnb|Owers|1995|pp=69–70}}.</ref> The [[Hungarian Soviet Republic]] used a number of D.VIIs, both built by MAG and ex-German aircraft in the [[Hungarian–Romanian War]] of 1919.<ref name="Owers1 p68">{{harvnb|Owers|1995|p=68}}</ref>

The Dutch, Swiss, and Belgian air forces also operated the D.VII. The aircraft proved so popular that [[Anthony Fokker]] completed and sold a large number of D.VII airframes that he had smuggled into the Netherlands by rail after the Armistice. As late as 1929, the [[Alfred Comte]] company manufactured eight new D.VII airframes under license for the Swiss [[Swiss Air Force|''Fliegertruppe'']].
