Hi SkyBaron,
yes, both the Radione R2 and R3 models (see picture below), were two of the most common radio broadcast receivers used by Vermacht and by Kriegsmarine, aboard U-boat and other vessels. See
this link or
this one for further reference.
Radione R2
Radione R3
Both received in the LW, AM and SW bands. Talking more specifically about the R2 model, the tree bands were marked on the main dial by different colour rings: white, green and red. Both radios had two main knobs: one for frequency tuning, and one for volume, though their positions changed from R2 to R3. On the top of both radios, there was one main switch which, I suspect, switched among the off position and the three different bands (see picture below).
Moreover, there were some more switches, but I ignore what was their use.
If required, I can add to my textures a top view of the radio with its controls and a bigger detail of the dial with readable radio stations. Also adding textures for the missing switches (in various positions) is not a problem.
I am on a trip now, but I will post further detail as soon as possible.

yep, that one is a reproduction of an US radio broadcast receiver
