in April 1940, two of the pre-production aircraft were pressed into service as troop transports.

Many German aircraft had Umbau sets available for modifications in the field. For the BV 138 there was an Umbau set for adding a bomb rack under the port wing. With such an Umbau the bomb payload could be doubled. As per German nomenclature, such aircraft held a suffix '/U'. A BV 138 C-1 aircraft
