In looking at the Radio messages, if you are currently at sea on 1 March 1940, and you have gotten the message :

19400301 500 19400301 2300 1 100 60 @Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote@||KOMMANDANTENSPRUCH - U-BOATS ATLANTIC||Abandon current patrol and return to base. Prepare to start next patrol until April, 2nd, 1940. You are ordered for special task!

this a prelude to Operation Wesserubung. If you return to base you can participate in the Norwedian Campaign starting 2 April 1940.

19400402 500 19400402 2300 1 100 60 @Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote@||KOMMANDANTENSPRUCH - U-BOATS ATLANTIC||When operation „Weserübung“ starts, fully use of all weapons against enemy ships is allowed in Norwegian waters.||BdU

However, most times there is no additional orders in some of the super mods, and you can ignore some of them. There are no consequences from BdU if you do. It is solely up to you. This one does have a followup orders.
