From National Archives HW 13/28: "GNA Vol. II, December 1940 numbered 1–20, 28.12.39 – 31.12.40"

These entries might be relevant:

16.08.40
At 1637 AH informed Boulogne that an aircraft had crashed in Sq. 1123 and that three men had bailed out.
At 1325 D-AWU reported that he had picked up two men and was returning to Le Havre. At 1418 he landed.

Note: "GNA" stood for German Naval Air.

I believe the 2 that were rescued were from III./ZG 76 and that the 1637hrs one could be the He 111
