Is Deutschland im Kampf propaganda?

Hi, I understand that "Deutschland im Kampf" is the Wehrmacht's publication on every battle from 1939-1944. How does it compare to directives from Hitler, Keitel, or others from the OKW in terms of objectivity?
In other words, is it propaganda?

I think it is safe to assume that any and all publications by the OKW are propagandistic in nature. That being said, the overall objectivity of the facts presented is mostly "dipped in heroism sauce".
