Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find detailed pictures of this crew position, much less diagrams.

In any case, the Ju-52/3e appears to have just been used during the Spanish Civil War and the Polish campaign, until better aircraft replaced it. It never made a very good bomber, despite its excellent load-carrying capacity.
