Anti-aircraft guns on XXI U boats

happy new year all

i am wondering how the anti-aircraft turrets on the XXI U boats were manned: were they remote controlled? I assume they were not manned by gunners as they are not part of the pressure hull.

I have several books on the XXI boats, but none really explain how the guns were aimed and operated.

i would appreciate any info

cheers
