That looks like an unpowered version - can't see any evidence of an
engine.

Being rocket powered, I think it just need a nozzle at the rear - which
wouldn't be apparent in a shot from this angle.
Here's a picture of a He112 fitted with the same engine:

I think teuton is trying to impress us with another one of his country's
"firsts" which, as was typical, never went into production.

Given that a) he hasn't said otherwise and b) the path on the URL has clearly
"prototyp" in it, what's the matter?

And until now, the only "photo" available of the He 176 had turned to be an
artistic rendering, so the relevance of this one would be that it's an actual
photo.

Cool down.
