gunner's position
Erklärung:
Difficult to say without more context, although, Schützen in this case is quite probably gunner.

The Schützentonne - for example in a WW II Flying Fortress or Lancaster heavy bomber - would be the drum-shaped rotating section of the (dorsal) gun turret in which the gunner sat.

"Hatchway to the gunner's position" (gun turret) would be the correct description for a WW II plane with gun turrets.

The gun positions on a Lancaster would be the nose turret (front, below the cockpit), rear turret (below the tail fin), dorsal turret (on the top of the fuselage, about half way between the cockpit and tail). Some aircraft also had belly turrets at the bottom of the fuselage. Manned turrets were partially replaced by electrically powered, remote controlled "barbettes" in later WW II aircraft (like the B-29 Superfortress).

In the RAF, the "drum" in which the gunner sat was usually called a "dustbin"

This describes the "drum":
The turret consisted of a circular drum attached to an inner ring which revolved on roller bearings running in a fixed outer ring.
