My 2 cents, after reading this guy's writing for two days, is that his line about the PR campaign doesn't mean it was a goal, rather it's a by-product of our soldiers' actions.
The reporter is really impressed with how our guys are doing their jobs and is taking it to his own country to task for doing so little, and for doing it so beaurocratically.
This type of article is a bombshell in the German media.

What do you mean 'bombshell'? As in good or bad?
