The abbreviated (translated) U-30 KTB entry for 29-30 March 1940:
28.03.40 AN 2797 1600 FT ein: Notgelandetes Flugzeug suchen
29.03.40 AN 3425 0400 Notgewassertes Fl, dt "Do 18" gefunden.
(U-30) Kmdt: Da meiner Kenntnis nach kein Flugbergungsschiff
aus-gelaufen ist, nach Angabe der Flieger ein anderes Fahrzeug
das Flugzeug vor der See nicht abschleppen kann ohne daß dieses
kentert oder unter-schneidet, übernehme ich die 4 Mann der
Besatzung und versenke die "Do 18" mit Artillerie. Kurz nach mir
traf ein eigener Fischdampfer ein.
Approx. translation:

(U-30) Kmdt: Because of my knowledge, no flight salvage ship
from-behind, according to the flyer another vehicle the aircraft from the sea
can not tow that without this capsize or under-cut, I take the 4 man Versenke
crew and the "Do 18" with artillery. Shortly after me met its own fish steamer.
[(U-30) Commander: No other salvage ships in the have been sent. Could
not tow the plane because of it's condition--capsized. 4 men taken aboard
and the aircraft was sunk with artillery. 4 men tranferred to a trawler
shortly thereafter]
