The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger was a desperate last effort by the Luftwaffe and Germany during WW2. Drawn up in the closing months of 1944, it was put into production in January/ February 1945. Problems with the production prevented an immediate introduction and although a number of aircraft reached the frontlines, only very few combat sorties were flown.
