Can you release the compression of the engine with the decompression

The large diesels used to power freighters can be restarted this way
quite easily, no compression release required.
This cannot be original cuz I know I saw it somewhere but cannot
imagine where.
Many of these same ships use a "shaft generator" driven off the
propeller shaft.
