About the Relic & Process
These original He 162 components were provided by D. Lemp in partnership with the Rechliner Museum and are left-over remnants from the restoration of the He 162 on display at the Aviation Technical Museum in Rechlin, Germany.
Restored He162 Salamander "White 4" - Aviation Technical Museum
Following the withdrawal of Soviet forces from East Germany in the 1990s, long-inaccessible areas previously used by the German military during World War II became available for exploration. These sites, including former war production facilities and airfields, yielded numerous artifacts from Germany’s late-war aviation projects. Among the most significant finds were crates of parts of the Heinkel He 162, a rare jet fighter developed during the final months of the war. Although Soviet forces took the BMW 003 jet engines to the Soviet Union for testing, the majority of airframes and components were left behind. These parts had been stranded at various locations by the departing Russians, waiting to be uncovered.

Large portions of original He 162 components were recovered from former production facilities, including the main Heinkel plant in Rostock, which had been heavily bombed during the war. To disperse production, the Germans established smaller, more concealed sites in Mecklenburg, including a factory hidden in the forest near Rövershagen and another at the Barth airfield on the Baltic Sea. These sites were key locations where many He 162 parts were manufactured.

Parts found at these sites have since been used to rebuild several He 162 aircraft, including "White 1" which is currently displayed at the Aviation Museum in Rechlin. Though most wooden components had to be reconstructed, much of the original structure remains intact, showcasing the ingenuity and desperation of late-war German aircraft production. Among the items recovered were cockpit components, armored plates, and original production tools such as drilling templates.

With just over 300 built before the end of the war, only 110 were actually delivered to the Luftwaffe. Only seven original aircraft remain to this day, with an additional four replicas built using original parts from this cache - making these pieces incredibly rare. Each relic included with the print originate from the cockpit and nose gear section of the He 162 Salamander.
