I have looked at the Datig picture and even enhanced it with Adobe Photoshop, adjusted the contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc. and still am not sure that the German soldier has his finger 'outside' of the trigger guard. I will agree that the safety is on and it was possibly a 'staged' picture since most photographs were not taken in direct combat. When the bullets are flying most photo-journalists do what everyone else does, hit the dirt.
