I'm not sure if they assisted uboots during war time. However those harbor pilots should have diferent "alert states" cos during an air raid vessels tried to leave port by their own. The same way the ships should stop at the outskirts of the port to let the pilot to leave to his aux boat.

Something cool to add:

Ships travelling in channels like the one in Kiel were towed by one or two tugboats while this operation was supervised by a pilot from the ship itself.
