Not in the UK, Europe, Russia etc, Speed Graphices weren't that common at all. Most war photographers used Rolleiflex, Leica, Contax and similar smaller formats, even US war photographers issued with Graflex cameras prefrred to use more practical smaller formats in action.

At a guess only a small handful of those images were shot with a Speed Graphic, the fall of Berlin was shot with a Leica that Baltermans had acquired from a US photographer. Capa used a Leica on D0-day.
