That's a great site - the last picture on this panzernest showing exactly how it was used is very good - No way I'd be in there - ever!!
 
The first time I ever heard of these was in an article by modeller Steve Zaloga in 'Military Modelling' magazine. I certainly wouldn't want to be stuck in one all alone, facing an oncoming enemy. Apparently they were fitted with periscopes and a ventilation system, but to get air, you had to use a foot pedal.... as well as trying to fight! This link to images of the diorama gives some idea of what they must have looked like in situ:
