The standard crew of the He 111 was five. The pilot sat back in the glazed section, offset to port. The navigator/bombardier sat alongside for take off, but for operations moved forwards to the extreme nose. In the rear was the radio operator / dorsal gunner. Two further gunners were carried, to operate the weapons in the beams and ventral gondola, which was known to the crew as the 'Stertebett' (death-bed).
