On the Leopard and other tanks which I'm sure will be the same for the Tiger

Traverse hand wheel
"clockwise turns the turret to the RIGHT"
"anti-clockwise turns turret to the LEFT"

"Push away Then down, anticlockwise, Lowers the Gun"

is the horizontal lay done with a handwheel mounted upside down for the left hand?Yes

this is standard for Tank turrets & Artillery
