If you prefer you can just edit your Careers.cfg and Careers_0.cfg files to award yourself the Oak Leaves after the game gives you the KC. Or you can just award yourself both at the same time.

They'll be in whatever folder in My Documents stores your saved career/kaleun info, in data/cfg/Careers/[kaleun's name].

Once you are back in base and have exited the game, open the Careers.cfg files and scroll down to the bottom where you'll see all the kaleun's info as it stands after your most recent patrol.

About halfway through that last chunk of data you'll see the lines indicating your current medals/badges which will look something like this (numbers after = may be different):

Medal0=4
Medal1=5
Medal2=6
Medal3=7
Medal4=-1
Medal5=-1
Medal6=-1
Medal7=-1
Medal8=2
Medal9=3

The numbers after each = sign say whether you've got the award or not. Default is -1 which means you don't have it. If there's a positive number there, you do have it.

The corresponding awards for each line are as follows:

Medal0=Iron Cross Second Class
Medal1=Iron Cross First Class
Medal2=Knights Cross
Medal3=Knights Cross With Oak Leaves
Medal4=Knights Cross With Oak Leaves and Swords
Medal5=Knights Cross With Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds
Medal6=Knights Cross With Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds
Medal7=U-Boat War Badge
Medal8=U-Boat War Badge Front Clasp
Medal9=German Cross in Gold

If you've already got the IC2, IC1, and KC, you should see positive numbers for Medal0, Medal1, and Medal2. Just change the -1 for Medal3 to a positive number, for instance if you see Medal2=4 (for your KC) then edit the next line so it reads Medal3=5 (I think any positive number will do, but I like to number them so it reflects the "order" in which they were awarded). Save the edited file.

Then open Careers_0.cfg and make the EXACT SAME EDIT in the exact same place, i.e., in the same lines reflecting medals status in the last section of info which is how things stand after your most recent patrol. I recommend just copying the info from the first file and then pasting it into the second. Save the second edited file.

If you use Commander you should be able to open it, choose that kaleun, click on the thingy where you update his personnel file, and when you open the updated file, you should see that he now has his Oak Leaves for his KC. This should also be reflected if you load him up for his next patrol and check his medals collection in-game.
