Take a look at the hole in the middle of the the engine nacelle ( dead center ).
What's in there is a lawnmower type pull pull starter.

That's correct. But it didn't crank up the turbine directly. It started a tiny two stroke gas engine which actually cranked up the turbine.

I'm amazed the germans were able to engineer all this unique stuff, right in the middle of the war while everybody's relatives were bombing them in 17's and 24's.
