The FW 200 was a minimally altered airliner that had serious issues with both fuselage and wing strength - the literature is full of pictures of them falling apart (literally) on landing or taxying. So not the worlds toughest target

IIRC two of the toughest were flying boats - the Sunderland and the Kawanisi 8K "Emily" could take an outstanding amount of punishment apparently
