Item #: SCP-5368
Object Class: Presumed Neutralized (until further notice)
Special Containment Procedures: Information regarding SCP-5368's anomalous properties is to be contained by standard procedures. The British Armed Forces and Royal Air Force have consented to aid the Foundation in neutralizing SCP-5368.
Description: SCP-5368-B is Tiger tank 132, a tank designed specifically to eliminate armored divisions. Numerous amounts of arbitrary activity are seen in combat:
SCP-5368-A consumes only salty contents. If given anything with sugar in it, it will turn hostile and proceed to rampage for 30 minutes.
The armor plating on SCP-5368-B is unearthly, literally flattening shells that attempt to penetrate its frontal armor.
The 88 mm mounted gun is capable of shooting three times the distance a 105 mm Howitzer is capable of firing.
The MG34 machine guns mounted on SCP-5368-B are capable of shooting 1800 rounds per minute, twice the average amount of ammunition a normal MG34 can.
The average speed of SCP-5368-B seen by allies scout planes is approximately 50 kph.
Soldiers and civilians alike who had seen it all said similar descriptions of ancient symbols marked on the hull and turret of SCP-5368.
These were all listed from all physical observations made during Operation Battleaxe and the 2nd Cyrenaica Offensive. As of November 16, 1942, SCP-5368 was declared MIA.
Chronological Events:
In 1940, French Resistance 307 had discovered a top-secret Nazi Laboratory, titled Unzerbrechliche Festung, 20 miles southwest of █████, containing SCP-5368. When the SCP Foundation got word of this, SCP Council Member ███████, undercover as a French Intelligence officer, sent the resistance orders to send their most skilled agents to infiltrate and gather intel on the asset. After 216 days, the intel requested was with a note from the resistance, saying that Specimen Verdeckter is nearing its finishing trials along with research data from Dr. ████ Schwliden. After this, further communication with French Resistance 307 has ceased. We have assumed the Waffen SS has terminated the resistance group.

Specimen A - Verdeckter
In 1936, December 12th, a meteorite infused with Verdeckter crashed 20 miles south of █████████. We have cleansed the area and spread the disinformation of a pilot who crashed an experimental aircraft. Verdeckter seems to be an entity that can fuse itself with an object. Further testing and studying need to be conducted.

It seems the asset has unique abilities and capabilities. However, it also appears to be sentient, so we may be able to find a way to enhance our weapons without it seizing control.

We finally managed to pacify Verdeckter using several tons of phosphate gas. We are nearing its final phases. I believe this can defeat the British limeys down in Africa.

Scientist ████ Schwilden was unfortunately killed in an accident by Verdeckter on October 13, 1941. Our belief in phosphate has failed miserably. We believed it could succumb Verdeckter for eight months. Our top scientist ████ Schwilden, along with six other scientists and 26 of our most fanatical troops, are now buried outside ███████. We hope some new mixtures that we have created, called #████, #███, #████, and Project Ursula could last much longer and more effectively. However, if all else should fail, we need to activate Protocol Beseitigung.

We have finally finished it; Project Ursula was a huge success. The prime ingredient of Project Ursula was Flerovium. We have decided on a Tiger I H model to fuse with Verdeckter. Although we would like to select the crew member, Mein Fuhrer has already decided to put the best crew member in there. I will replace the radio operator to make sure Verdeckter stays pacified at all times. If not, we will need to proceed with Protocol Beseitigung. We must prevent Verdeckter from falling into Allies hands at all costs.
Sieg Heil, and HH

1941-06-15 - 1941-06-17: British military officers first saw SCP-5368 during Operation Battleaxe. The British 8th Armored Divisions suffered heavy losses as they approached SCP-5368. British government officials, including General Montgomery, contacted the Foundation, requesting support in suppressing and neutralizing it. MTF ███████ was sent to assist. They were able to severely damage it before being overwhelmed by German artillery and air support, allowing SCP-5368 to escape. The Foundation has declared MTF █████████ deceased as 90% of their forces were wiped out in the process, and the remaining survivors were later KIA while defending against SCP-5368.
1942-01-29: During the Second Cyrenaica offensive, British scout planes rediscovered SCP-5368. Without MTF ███████, British defenses were quickly overwhelmed. MTF Gamma-5 and Epsilon-6 are currently crossing the mediterranean sea along with British Naval forces.
1942-02-27: Both MTF teams reached Cairo. The entire British front has collapsed. MTF Alpha-1 is currently on hold if MTF Gamma-5 and Epsilon-6 fail their mission. If they do, MTF Alpha-1 must be rushed into Jerusalem. The middle east and its oil supplies are crucial for our operations and assets stationed there.
1942-06-30: The entire German offensive has ground to a halt outside of El-Alamein. MTF Gamma-5 and Epsilon-6 discovered SCP-5368 is quite vulnerable to air attacks. Assistance from MTF-Omega 15 may be required if the RAF is unable to handle SCP-5368.
1942-08-26: SCP-5368 spearheaded an assault on El Alamein. MTF Gamma-5 was able to hold SCP-5368 off with local RAF air support. ███████ rockets may be used by the RAF to neutralize SCP-5368.
1942-09-08: SCP-5368 has been potentially neutralized. All MTF personnel is pulling out while MTF Epsilon-11 stays to omit any information of SCP-568 and MTF Gamma-5 searches for SCP-5368. All German forces are in full retreat.
1942-11-16: SCP-5368’s crew members surrendered to us along with Dr. ██████ Von Trippon. Although they would not give up SCP-5368’s location, Dr. ██████ Von Trippon interview sheds some more light on SCP-5368. In the meantime, SCP-5368 is to be declared MIA as MTF Gamma-5 is unable to locate the asset.
