To what purpose is this radio being put?
Obviously the German army is involved but is it for broadcasting from the field or communicating between units?

In this context nachrichten means : signal unit.
Looks like a standard German field radio for coms between units.

Thanks, guys!  I used Google translate and it came up with news crew but I didn't think the German Army was that involved with news propigation with the news in nazi Germany! 

Would an officier be involved in transmitting radio traffic? (that's a private on the right, correct?)

Nachrichtentruppe is not exactly "news crew" (though "Nachrichten" is "news" nowadays), in military context a "Nachricht" simply means a "message", so the caption uses the old word for "Communications Formation" (later: "Fernmeldetruppe").
