What is strange about a German destroyer in the middle of the Atlantic?

1. How did it get there?
2. What the Devil is it doing there??
3. How on Earth does the crew think they're going to get back???

Especially 2 is the clincher. Let's assume the destroyer has somehow evaded aerial detection. What would a German DD be doing in the Atlantic? Hunting British subs chasing German convoys?

Come on..
