Targets in Petawawa
There was a Panther as the wheels from a Flak 36 and a sFH 18 15cm used as targets on the ranges in Petawawa. There could well have been more stuff.
Petawawa was littered with wartime Valentines, Rams and the odd Sherman. Of course post-War Shermans and Centurions were also out there as well.
The earliest item I ever saw was a pair of inter-War 18 Pdr Ammunition Limbers that were completely shot-up by the late 1970s.
As Charlie mentioned, Meaford appears to have been the Canadian hub for German WWII kit being used as targets. The Stug III which is on display in the Italian section of the CWM was recovered from Meaford in the 1970s.
