Sturmgeschutz Stug III at the Canadian War MuseumThe Canadian War Museum has an interesting Sturmgeschutz Stug III exhibit using a blown up example amidst a WWII diorama. It appears to be an example that was brought over to Canada and used for testing of armored piercing weapons or just plain target practice.
