The fact that Vingaland (2734 GRT) was in a convoy left her open to attack. The convoy was probably escorted so AAA protection. The Fw200 pilot is not going to have the option of telling if the frieghter is neutral or not coming in for a low fast attack on ships sailing in columns with a zig zag that could take place at anytime. Do we know the time of the attack? Lt Cdr Giulio Chialamberto on the Submarine Marconi claimed her as a 10000 GRT freighter on the 09Nov40 at 21:05. Maybe some one can check "Focke-Wulf Fw200 Condor" by J.C. Salgado it might have some information on it but I've read it is mostly a picture book.
