Yep, several AOD messages are present in the radiolog file:

Darkened ships encountered off the British and French coasts can be assumed to be either warships or auxiliaries. Complete freedom of attack against these vessels is permitted between 44 degrees N. and 62 degrees N., and 7 degrees W. and 3 degrees E.
19391004 1730 19390903 2005 0 100 20 @BdU@^Officer only^|1939/10/04|U-boats are permitted to attack, without warning, enemy merchant ships which are observed to be armed, or which are listed by the Naval Staff as being armed, or which commence firing from unobserved weapons. The area in which darkened ships may be attacked without warning is extended to 15 degrees W. U-boats are still required by the Führer's order to save the crew of any ship they sink, providing it can be done without endangering the U-boat.
