If not for this, I would ask if this was a pre-war patrol and you accidentally sank neutral shipping.
However, depending on the time period, it may be that the ships
were neutral, and you mistook a Commonwealth ensign, possibly Canadian, for the British merchant ensign. It took a week for Canada to declare war on Germany following the declarations of France and England. This is true for many other Commonwealth nations as well.
