That would be a good bet, Brian. Also, Cajus Bekker, author of
Diaries, got a lot of his material from the great mass of so-called "PK" articles written during the war by embedded war correspondents (Kriegsberichter). Wartime media sources almost always omitted names or at least the first name. These "PK" (stands for Propaganda-Kompanie) articles could appear anywhere, e.g.,
Signal,
Wehrmacht magazine, large German newspapers, troop newspapers and news sheets, etc. There are a few out there who collect these articles and I have also seen some of them appear in the microfilms and in the popular postwar paperback series published by Podzun-Verlag, but I do not know of a single-source collection of them such as one might find in a library, but I have always suspected there is one somewhere.
