He115 Convoy PQ17 query

Hi guys

Perusing the book PQ17 Convoy to Hell (Lund & Ludlam) I noticed reference to a seaplane (presumably a He115) alighting near the abandoned freighter Paulus Potter, the seaplane crew climbing aboard, whereon they found the ship's code books and other secret documents that should have been destroyed (circa July 1942).

Can anyone confirm the above and provide additional details, please? Perhaps the incident is recorded in German records?

Cheers
Brian
