I'll tell you honestly that I'm not very used to taxiing on taxiways with the Ju52. That's why I'd rather post here what IPACS advises, if you haven't seen it yet.
The Ju-52 has a free castering tailwheel with no steering control. To steer left and right pilots use differential throttle and brakes. A little more throttle on the right engine will cause it to turn to the left and vice versa. Rudder becomes more effective if you increase throttle on the center engine.
Use minimal power during taxi and use gentle brake inputs combined with rudder to steer along the taxiway
Use a short throttle boost with fully deflected rudder, followed by a short brake input to ‘kick’ the plane around for tighter turns
If you feel like the aircraft is not responding to inputs come to a full stop with the brakes, then add full rudder to the side you want to go and a brief increase in throttle to get the nose turning. Then add a short brake input to avoid a ground loop.”
