The battle
The Battle of the Atlantic lasted from 1940-1944, almost the entire war. The Battle was between the Allied and Axis Powers. The Germans used their navy to try to stop the Americans from delivering supplies and troops to the Allies in Europe. In the first years of the battle the Germans were winning but closer to the end the Americans used better tactics to outsmart the Germans. The Germans killed around 75,000 Allied troops and 2,753 boats were sunk.
