Does anybody know what it was (I'm asking strictly about planes that

saw
combat, not the "blueprint superfighters")?

Probably the He-162 jet fighter. IRC around 180 were
ready for use before the end of the war, entering
service in Febuary 1945

Wrong again Keith. The Do-335A-0/A-1s saw some operational duty with
EK335 and II/KG2 in the spring of 1945. These were night interdiction
missions so no Allied report of the "Ant-eater" was reported.

Wasn't the Do335 officially a bomber? I note you quote II/KG2, a bomber
unit.
