to my knowledge:
The only confirmed victory (sunken submarine) is
brit. "Tigris", + 27.02.1943
All other successes are not confirmed.

This factum resembles the big difference in the case of Albrecht Brandi between his reported successes and the reality
with extremely fewer sunken ships and destroyers.

Pollmann entered the Bundesmarine 01.07.1956 as Korvettenkapitän (Dezernent für U-Boot-Jagd im Kommando der Marinewaffen, Flottenstab)
at last Verbindungsoffizier in einem NATO-Stab in den Niederlanden

28.02.1958 als aktiver Offizier verstorben
