They will need
extraordinary levels of clothing, including
heated clothing. Since the ASN don't have modern plastics, their equipment will be bulkier and heavier than modern stuff. Something that may seem weird to the PCs is that the ASN will be trained to move slowly and deliberately, because getting sweaty is very dangerous. The sweat freezes and destroys the insulating properties of clothing.

None, because the space won't allow it?
One 2 cm Flak, on the opposite side of the lift?
Or more? Can they mount the 30mm autocannon up there?

Take a look at
this diagram of the top of the pillar. Weapons should clearly be placed at points of the pentagram, on the rim of the top of the pillar.
Imagine the heated hut being placed at the intersection just below the middle of the diagram. The two points below it on the rim of the pillar will be the warmest, but they are cramped for space because of the hut, and one of them will have the top of the lift mechanism. I'd mount an MG42 in the lift, for defense against attackers on the ground, and another at the other warm point.
Mount 2 cm flak guns on the points at the left and right of the diagram. Don't try to put a weapon on the point at the top of the diagram, because that's where the airship mooring mast is, and if the airship is there, it's just too easy to shoot it by accident.
