Hi,

Could anyone clarify what these are? Are these parts inside a tank where ammunition could be stored?

Thanks and regards
Alison.

English translation:Turret bunker
Explanation:
I think you have a typo, it should mean "Turmbunker". I would call it turret bunker, but bunker turret, gun turret and simply turret are also used.

Reference information:
Jedoch führt selbst eine Explosion der Munition im isolierten Turmbunker wegen der Ableitung der Detonationswelle über Sollbruchstellen an der Oberseite des Turmbunkers nicht zu einer Gefährdung der Besatzung, jedenfalls soweit im Moment der Explosion die Munitionsbunkertür geschlossen war.
http://www.kotsch88.de/al_geschichte_ladeautomaten.htm

An ammunition bunker for the main battletank turrets which is arranged behind the tank turret and whose walls are designed by predetermined break lines such that, in the event of an explosion of ammunition in the bunker, its outside walls are hurled off the sides of the tank thereby protecting the crew of the tank.
