The diary lacks human emotion. Very robotic. Many dates, stats, conference call subject matters, but nothing on how the military operations were impacting his life or that of others.
It's available and free the download of the diaries of Halder, chief of general staff of OKH until September 1942.

Links work for me. Need to click on image of title page for each volume to bring up the reader that displays the English translation of the original German.
Halder must be treated with caution. After WW2 he did pander to the allies, mainly the USA., telling them what they wanted to hear. The USA gave him an award. No kidding. I know what I would have done with him.
