Project Beowulf

One of a multitude of Nazi occult involvements during the Second World War. Project Beowulf sought to awaken and control an ancient dragon buried in the mountains of Norway. Unlike most Nazi occult projects this one worked.
In late 1944 the project came to fruition and the dragon was released against the British Isles. All dragons are fearsome beasts and in the ancient runestones that told of this dragon, it was called unstoppable. Ancient Norsemen didn't have cannons and aircraft.
Due to British code breakers the project was followed. A flight of Spitfire MkV aircraft flown by RAF pilots Captain Harold Harrier and Capitan Farran Wells, led by Major James Smythe met the dragon over the North Sea. Major Smythe and his fellow pilots downed the dragon before it was able to make landfall in Scotland at the cost of Captain Harrier. For their efforts they received the Victoria Cross with the commendation reading "For Valor in the Face of the Enemy".
Mi-13 recovered the carcass at sea and the body disappeared into the murky depths of war-time secrets and paranoia. Nothing was heard of it again. Today you would be lucky to find anyone that knows anything. Questions don't get denials, they get blank looks.
Studies of German records are no more enlightening. There was no mention of Project Beowulf in records found in Germany after the war, or even mention of the project name. No men or officers questioned ever came in contact with the project. If anything remains it is likely buried deep in the ice of the Norwegian mountains.

Due to some serious digging the body of the dragon has been located in a cave beneath a Scottish castle, soaking in formaldehyde for the last 60 years. Sadly the formaldehyde means that the genetic structure of the dragon will have been destroyed. Typical of the British, the facility has been tooling along with two guys totally forgotten since the war. Mi-13 has taken firm possession of the facility now that it has been accounted for.
Along with the dragon the cave she slept in until woken by the Nazis was also found. On exiting the cavern the dragon caused a landslide that buried the whole facility. The site is still being dug out.
