About the Artifact:
May 1945 - 4-meter aluminum sheets from an Me 262 production line were removed by a fleeing Czech worker when German production ceased at the end of the war. Using a cart and horse, the sheeting was taken to the worker's property and was used as roofing material. This artifact was cut from one of those sheets in 2021, which still includes the original AWS (Aluminum Walzwerke Singen) manufacturer stamp.
