The Luftwaffe and the German Air Ministry ("ReichsLuftfahrtMinisterium / RLM") were preoccupied with war, and the powers-that-be didn't witness a flight demonstration of the He-178 until November 1939.
After a total of about a dozen test flights, the He-178 was sent to the national air museum in Berlin, where it was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1943.
The Luftwaffe eventually assigned FW-190s, when they were available and had fuel, to fly air patrols around the air bases to protect the Me-262s, and the airfields were ringed by heavy flak defenses.
