If you are at crush depth, or even periscope depth, there is NO WAY you can get crew off because the water pressure will prevent the hatch opening.
BUT, if you are surfaced then I’d have thought an Abandon Ship order would be fair. Even so, unless you are very close to a friendly base where German units can rescue them, then they are either going to be captured, or die of exposure, or drown ( no life boats on a UBoat).
So really, they are lost to you anyway.
Its purpose is so the sailor can point at it and say: "Don't worry mommy, see? There's a hatch in the back so we can get out if something goes wrong."
Apart from a couple accidents in shallow, friendly waters nearly every submarine loss meant the whole crew went with the boat. Since most of the time you're operating in enemy waters, that means in the best case scenario, you're not going home until after the war.
