Item #: SCP-1517-JP
Object Class: Safe Euclid (Provisional)
Special Containment Procedures: All discovered SCP-1517-JP instances are to be brought into
containment by a Mobile Task Force from a nearby containment site.
Following this, the entity is to be contained in a nearby Site's Reinforced Humanoid Containment
Unit and constantly monitored by means of video recording.
Archived Containment Procedures
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1517-JP is to be contained in a Reinforced Humanoid
Containment Unit at Site-DE-██.
Constant monitoring is to be carried out by means of video recording.
Description: SCP-1517-JP is a group of military combat humanoid droids, measuring 1.81 m in
height and massing 155 kg.
Currently, the Foundation has contained two instances, respectively designated -1 and
-2.
See Addendum 5.
While obscured due to age and wear, the remnants of a Hakenkreuz painted onto SCP-1517-JP's
right shoulder are recognizable.
The form of the Swastika used in Nazi Germany
The following inscription is present on the back of each object:
W-200 - Rass, 1940
Based on the contents, it can be determined that these objects were created by Mister
Rass, the leader of the Group of Interest "Fourth Reich" during his work for the Third
Reich.
SCP-1517-JP are primarily composed of an alloy closely similar to high-grade duralumin.
The object's eyes are made of glass, and are suspected to be be capable of sight.
SCP-1517-JP is entirely mechanical, and active entities are capable of autonomous movement.
As SCP-1517-JP instances are highly resilient, inspection of their internals is difficult.
In addition, as they possess a slow-acting ability for self-repair, the object is impossible
to fully neutralize.
Some of the SCP-1517-JP currently in containment are in an inactive state.
Inspection of the interior of these entities has shown that there is an empty space in
their chests, which indicates that their power source has been removed.
Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, SCP-1517-JP-1, in an inactive state, was retrieved
by the Main Foundation.
Up until the discovery of SCP-1517-JP-2, SCP-1517-JP-1 was thought to be an isolated anomaly.
Addendum 1: From the retrieved documentation, prior to become inactive, SCP-1517-JP-1 possessed
the following abilities:
Artificial intelligence The ability to fire machine guns attached
to both arms A high degree of physical ability
Further research into the object is planned.
Addendum 2: On 1946/██/██, while investigating post-war Japan, the Foundation discovered
a similar object to SCP-1517-JP-1 in a forest on Iwo Jima and moved it to Site-81AZ.
Now a part of Ogasarawara Subprefecture, Tokyo
Following this, the entity discovered in Germany was designated SCP-1517-JP-1, and the newly
discovered instance in Japan was designated -2.
SCP-1517-JP-2 was discovered to possess traces of a Nisshōki painted on its left shoulder,
and was in an inactive state similarly to SCP-1517-JP-1.
The Rising Sun Flag of Imperial Japan
Based on the area surrounding its retrieval location, it is suspected that SCP-1517-JP-2
was in use in a combat capacity.
Investigation is ongoing.
Between 2/19/1945 and 3/26/1945, the island was the site of the Battle of Iwo Jima between
the Japanese and American Armies
Addendum 3: Following investigation revealed that SCP-1517-JP-2 was sent to the Empire
of Japan at the signing of the Tripartite Pact between Germany, Italy and Japan.
Following this, SCP-1517-JP-2 was under the management of the Imperial Japanese Army,
and was used in combat multiple times.
Addendum 4: With this discovery, the Foundation carried out an interview with a former Nazi
scientist:
Interviewee: Vladimir Hollmann
Interviewer: Agent Marx
Note: Vladimir Hollmann was involved with Nazi scientific research projects.
Following the arrival of the Foundation, he was taken into custody as he was thought to
be involved in the creation of various anomalous objects.
Agent Marx: Let's start the interview.
Hollmann: Understood.
Agent Marx: Do you know about SCP-1517-JP — or rather, I believe you called it W-200?
Hollmann: Yes.
In fact, it was a collaboration between Rass and myself.
Agent Marx: Please, tell me more.
Hollmann: In 1940, Julian from the Totenkopf asked me to make a duplicate of a robot for
him.
The same year, I reported that I'd successfully duplicated it, and the same day it was decided
that I'd work with Rass.
Dacius Julian, a member of the 3rd SS Panzer Division who was
close to Mr. Rass.
Surrendered to the Allies on 5/2/1945, but information on this is unclear.
Refers to the 3rd SS Panzer Division
Agent Marx: The same day?
Hollmann: Yes.
Either way, Rass seemed to be involved in making droids for a decent while before that.
However, in order to do that, he needed people, experience, and a prototype, and at that point
he was looking for people.
Though I don't know if it's just my conceit, he might have marked me since long ago.
Agent Marx: Go on.
Hollmann: After that, Rass and I made the W-200.
Rass had put a duplication mechanism on them, so that they could be manufactured infinitely.
Hollmann: After the practical tests, though it was just a prototype, we started to use
them as disposable weapons.
… Perhaps we produced them in the right numbers.
Agent Marx: I see…
But if you were to make so many of them, it'd drain the country's coffers, no?
Would that not be a problem?
Hollmann: No, the Party immediately saw that.
However, Rass immediately started work on another kind of droid.
At that point… Julian had another idea.
Agent Marx: Go on.
Hollmann: He suggested we sell the W-200 to other groups.
And we took his idea.
Agent Marx: Who did you sell them to?
Hollmann: There weren't that many of them, but they were quite large-scale.
The main ones were Prometheus and MC&D, but we also made sales to smaller ones.
When sales were hard, we had to sell them off via hearsay and hide their origins.
Hollmann: And also, when we made the pact with Japan and Italy, as a gift of good will,
we sent a W-200 to each company.
Soon enough, the W-200 were not used for much other than as a product.
Agent Marx: And…
did that help the combat prospects of the Nazis?
Hollmann: It let us expand our territory in '41, I believe.
After that, we used the money from sales to fund more robot production and droid research.
That proposal really gave the higher-ups a lot of material to do that.
But in the end, we failed.
We were attacked by the Soviets, and the droids were destroyed.
There can't be too many of them left.
Hollmann: That's all I know.
As for where the last W-200s went…
I'm sorry, but I don't know.
Agent Marx: Thank you for the information.
We'll end it here.
From the information obtained, it was later determined that the object was used in Project
"Reversing the Reversal".
Project "Reversing the Reversal", was a project under the direct
leadership of Hitler to create robot squadrons in order to
protect important bases and high-ranking Nazi officials,
as well as for rapid maneuverability in combat.
Addendum 5: Following the interview, the Foundation conducted a further investigation of the information
retrieved from the Nazi science program.
Following this, suppression of various Groups of Interest indicated in the documents led
to the retrieval of 17 further SCP-1517-JP instances, both active and inactive, which
have been designated SCP-1517-JP-3 ~ 19 and stored in nearby containment sites.
As active instances are confirmed to exist, the Containment Procedures have been revised,
and the Object Class has been raised to Euclid.
Further changes of Object Class are in consideration.
