Question: Radio intercepts in campaign mode..

....Oct. 1939; U-4, a type II-A canoe is tracking a target somewhere off the coast of Norway when the radio operator reports a new intercept. Its U-45 reporting a convoy contact some 1500 odd NM away from our position: time 07:58.

At 09:02 new radio message intercept: an S.O.S. call from one of the freighters in the position earlier reported by U-45. someone's on duty!
At 09:07 and 09:11: two (2) more S.O.S. from sinking freighters. Good Job!

Here's the question:

Are the messages intercepted by the radio operator part of the campaign at sea, in real game time?

or

Are the messages simply part of a script designed to give the impression that we are not alone in the developing campaign?

I was wondering if I would have witnessed the attack if I had been within visual and/or audio range of the action at U-45's location?
