These 'barbettes' were controlled from inside the cabin

Note: The proper German term for these remotely operated turrets - Ferngerichtete Drehringseitenlafette - roughly translating as "Remotely aimed rotating side gun-mount", does NOT use the British English term "barbette", most properly a feature on a large calibre gun turret-armed warship into which a gun turret is mounted through a warship's armor deck, and translates in German as "Geschützbank" for the naval artillery definition. The generic term for any sort of movable or mobile gunmount in German, lafette, is the common "root" term for any defensive machine gun or autocannon emplacement on a World War II-era German military aircraft.
