Unique ID: 43 Added to Database: May 2008 Last Edited: 23 March 2014 Type (ID): Panther (110) Model (ID): Ausf A (240) Location Category (ID): Canadian War Museum (8100) Location (ID): LeBreton Gallery (8130) Serial Number: Registration: Name: Other Identification: Collection Reference: Links: Wehrmacht Awards CWM unveils restored Panther tank from the Second World War References: Associated Tanks: Location History: (see map) 1: Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg (MAN) AG, Nürnberg, Bavaria, Middle Franconia, Germany (Primary manufacturer) 2: VE Day Parade, Centretown, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (VE Day 8 May 1945) 3: Base Borden Military Museum, Canadian Forces Base Borden, Borden, Ontario, Canada (Until 2005) 4: Canadian War Museum, LeBreton Flats, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (Current location) This tank, after its capture, was shipped to Canada. It participated in V-E Day celebrations on Sparks Street in Ottawa on 8 May 1945. This means that it had been transported from Europe before the end of the war, but whether as a war trophy or for testing and experimentation by the military remains unknown. It was displayed at Canadian Forces Base Borden from the late 1940s until the Department of National Defence’s Directorate of History and Heritage, CFB Borden, and the Base Borden Military Museum donated it to the Canadian War Museum in February 2005. There it underwent restoration. All major mechanical components were removed and treated in order to preserve them. The interior and engine bay components were removed and refurbished and then re-installed. The exterior surfaces were cleaned and stabilized and re-treated with a “Zimmerit” paste created from a period recipe. Zimmerit had been applied in wartime to this Panther; residue of the original coating can be seen on the sections between the track and the upper hull. The restoration team reproduced many of the damaged or missing components in order to present the tank as it would likely have appeared on operations in 1944. After two years of labour by a dedicated team of volunteers it was unveiled to the public on 10 Januay 2008. (Source: CWM).
