"The American army made some adaptations with the development of a "horse-pack set," which used a hand generator and was strapped to the side of a horse."
This seems to say it was operated like this. 
I cannot think of any set where the crank was operated while generator still on the saddle pack. Maybe the SCR-203 ? I don't want to look for the manual
right now.

"There was some experimentation with troop entertainment via radio transmission, too, with broadcasts aimed at Navy ships at sea and wounded sailors recovering in hospitals."
Broadcasts? 
How does this nonsense originate?
Someone read a thing or two, and is writing a summary based on his scrambled memory ? 
The internet makes it easier for anyone to get into print. I mean, anyone. And dispense with fact checkers.
