Kapitanleutnant Alfred Koller has been retired to take command of 5th Flotilla by SH3 Commander. Over four patrols beginning in September 1939 to the spring of 1940 he sank 200,015 tons of British shipping, including one Tribal class destroyer and one Southamption class cruiser. He retired from sea duty to shore command with the Knight's Cross, assigning command of U-53 to his second in command. From SH3 Commander's personnel file:

"After his duty at the front, Alfred Koller became the commander of the 11th Flotilla, a position he held until the end of the war. After the war Alfred Koller spent several years in the Bundesmarine (German postwar Navy). He died on 26 April 1963 in Ussel / Waldeck."

I love SH3 Commander. Time now to commence a new career in the spring of 1940.
