Exactly. Knowing that the photographer is almost as likely to cop a bullet as the soldiers he films adds to the drama of such pics. I still get a chill when I see that picture of the German soldier with his arms spread out to each side as the bullet strikes him; his gun is flying out of his right hand. Another one is the shot of two German soldiers laying down, with one of them about to release a hand grenade. I believe that pic made it onto the cover of a game like Squad Leader or something similar.
Edit: Found 2 Google links to the pics I mention above:
