The He-162 actually had its one and only
confirmed kill on April 19, before it was officialy operational (the
He-162 was shot down by another Allied plane before it got back to base).


No Allied pilot fits for the claim, nor was there an Allied claim for the 162
returning to base. Currently, the folks who dig through archives looking for
evidence of such things say that there was never an abschuss report filed, or,
for that matter, a loss recorded by JG 1 at the time suggested.

Two other kills were claimed for He-162, but not confirmed.


No confirmation process in place after February 45!
