Something about it keeps reminding me of the A-10 warthog. From the rounded nose and cockpit, the strange rounded engine and its even stranger positioning and even the tail with the the 2 vertical stabilizers.
My wife’s grandmother talks about these planes all the time and how she almost learned to fly as her father was an instructor. She is 97 this year so I take every memory of hers with a tablespoon of salt.

The faulty glue issue was a common issue for a lot of German aircraft made of wood. There were several issues that caused it, one being sabotage by the slave labor. It was eventually resolved near the end of the war but too late to affect the war. The He-162 was actually a pretty good design. Eric Brown flew one after the war and considered it one of the best Nazi aircraft although it was moderately unstable due to the high center of gravity and the high wing loading. This made it completely unsuitable for inexperienced pilots. Also, the ejection of the pilot also triggered an 'ejection' of the engine as well, although this was another item that that needed more modification and was largely disabled in functional aircraft. This aircraft gets a bad rep from a lot of people but it was actually a promising design and with proper development it could have been a game changer had it showed up a few years earlier.
I already feel bad that children were forced to fly one of these death traps. I feel worse knowing that if they crashed and died they wouldn't get a proper burial. I doubt their parents knew that one of their children was dead until the war ended.
Got up close to the one at chino air museum. My wife and I where the only ones in there at the time . The guide let me take photos all around and underneath the plane. This was pre digital camera. So all the pics are on 35mm film. I should get them scanned. I recall that the nose gear mount showed obvious damage from a hard landing. It was a good time i love aircraft of all types.
Thank you for clarifying that the 162 did indeed score a couple of victories because nothing else I've ever watched or read has actually gone so far is to do that
Adolf Galland needs a deep dive on biographics. Truly one of the most honorable airmen who doesn’t get enough attention in history, especially the Fighter Pilot’s Revolt that he led in January 1945.
My friends father died right as Covid hit Europe. He was inducted in Vienna into the crash course on piloting that thing, (pardon the pun) but the war ended before he would have been sacrificed for the Reich. He was 14 when he was trained to fly "the people's hunter", he was 92 when he died. He was a very quiet unassuming man. After the war he married his high school sweetheart, and fifteen years into their marriage they had one child, my friend Eddie. The kids that would have flown those plans, weren't any type of super Nazi's. Only the term Volkssturm had any semblance of threat. As Simon and company mentioned, they were indoctrinated old men and children. They were just ordinary young men. In WWII the world lost three generations of people. Look around you, how many are we losing today? The Nazi's used propaganda to achieve their goals, who is using propaganda now? Who is the marmalade Mussolini? Call out propaganda when you see it, and don't fall prey to it, be on your guard against it. Good luck.
Taking the problem of supplies for construction, and the glue shortcomings for the wooden wings,...in the hands of an experienced pilot, those aircraft might have made a noticeable impact on the air war. Not that it would have turned the outcome around, but, might have delayed the ending and bought some time.
On previous wooden airplanes the germans used Tego Film with great success but the factory was destroyed in february 1943 and the acidic adhesive they used after lead to catastrophic failures.
Hey kids! Tired of watching your dads, brothers, uncles and neighbors die right in front of you while you just sit around eating candy? Ever want to fly a plane? Well have I got an offer for you...
Look on the internet, find out about the American-German youth who attended military school, who flew the He162 as a civilian from manufacturing plants to Luftwaffe airfields,shot down in the last days of the war, went on to join the United States army
This was tested by the famous RN test pilot Eric "Winkle" Brown at the end of the war. He stated it was a pretty good aircraft, but there was no way embryo pilots good handle it.
strangely, planes for child-pilots as an idea is not so unique... and others have gotten much further in their development... the biggest use was probably the USSR, which had a whole program of ever increasing size flying trainer-models preparation in which started as a specialized after-school activity (as part of élite boy scouts units)... whilst not as big or successful as originally envisioned, such programs enrolled at least in the high-hundreds maybe a thousand something early-teens through the years of it's existence. of course, all the aircraft were very forgiving propeller crop-dusters rather than jets, with top speeds closer to 150km/h-200km/h max -- Interestingly, the second country to mass-produce airplanes for the use of children (not counting the Warsaw pact countries) was the UK with it's flying Cadet Corp being the original customer to a lot of the Microlight technology with the idea it will ease the way for young men into aviation... whilst these could be flown by adults, many of the early variants were very much trimmed for the lighter weight of a child rather than an adults body. (note that the initial solo Microlight-class Pilot license could be legally given from a mere "12years or older", 3 or four years before the normal drivers license) I believe, there was also a microlight variant produced for the proper *(American) scouts, but I am not sure of it's history or success.
@@twistedyogert the two examples I mentioned were certainly strongly infused with militaristic ideology (being in both cases made for the benefit of the armed forces)... one directly as a military branch, in the other case, as a part of a civilian military assistance program... but slightly less direct I guess.

All things considered, it was really a brilliant aircraft design for the time. Kind of a flaky engine for assorted reasons... and the pushing juveniles to fly it was just pure desperation. If they had properly trained pilots for these jets, they could have been very effective.
In contrast to the preceding "wonder weapons," the Volksjaeger was one of what I classify as "desperation weapons" programs. At that point, most of Germany's aces had been killed, and Germany has lost access to critical materials. In pure desperation, Germany was throwing whatever they could, as a last-ditch effort. Germany should have surrendered while they still could.
The life of early *German* jet engines was measured in hours, 25 nominally, but many had to replaced much earlier. The British jet engines of WW2 were quite robust and long-lived.
The UK also hadn't been bombed into the stone age so just the fact the Nazis had a jet engine is amazing in the 1st place. So lucky for the world the Nazis weren't even more resourceful
Yeah because they had an individual well made one. The actual production models had problems with the wooden parts and sabotage by the slave laborers. Not to mention postwar test pilots being highly skilled.
Yes, “POST WAR TEST PILOTS” they would have had the skills to be able to fly them successfully. It was intended to have barely trained recruits fly them and that would have resulted in wholesale slaughter of them. I believe that Albert Speer admitted as much after the war.
