Great pictures! Didn't the Kugelblitz turret used to be at the RMCS Shrivenham in the UK? Does anyone know how it was supposed to work? Was it a one-man turret or controlled in some other way?

As far as I know it was a one-man turret

wow, interesting article but that turret does not look a fun place to be! Mind you even the modern Gepard turret was very cramped as well.

Actualy most of the collection is on loan from Koblenz and Dresden
