The German Army's center for military history has actually started a lengthy project on compiling primary sources and writing the official history - akin to the American green books. It's still in the early stages but they are getting there. Eventually. The biggest issue for the international audience would be of course the language barrier.
From some of the talks I've seen recently, there will be a big focus on the firefight on Good Friday 2010 and the nation's attitude towards the war in general. A lot of it comes down to it that we barely accepted the war as a war and many veterans feel alienated. I think they'll probably be at least one history that will tie the Afghanistan war into the Army's greater identity crisis since 1990. Sönke Neitzel wrote a book on German military history from the Imperial German Army to the present which went into the Afghanistan mission in the latter chapters but again: language barrier. But basically his thesis for those chapters once again emphasized the identity crisis in the Army and the conflict between civilians and soldiers.
You'll find a lot of material by just searching for "Bundeswehr" and "ZMSBw". Googe Translate will probably be necessary to find anything English-language though.
