I don't want to get involved with US ships or other countries or neutrals that are not Enemies of Germany.

EDIT: I've been out there 7 days and only seen and sunk 1 ship.
Rob if you patrol around the British Isles you will get a lot of ships to kill. I would suggest the following 3 areas:
1. Eastern Coast of Britain (Square AN). You have the benefit of being close to your ports so you don't waste time in taxi. There are also a lot of ports, hence heavy traffic. The down side is that the area is heavily mined so you need to be very careful.
2. Northern England-Scotland. In the area around Scapa Flow you can get a lot of shipping. Be careful though as this area is heavily patroled by DDs.
3. The area around Ireland (Square AM). Stay close to the coast and be really careful of the patrol boats.

In all those areas you will find neutral ships but most of the targets are British.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
