Yes, definitely, I had forgot mentioning this part of the story, thank you for mentioning it!
Exception made for the Type XIV, no U-boat was meant to play the support role. But due to the small number of available U-tankers (and to the vulnerability inherent to their duties), in several occasions other U-boat types had to be used as stop-gap supply vessels.
