14h 46min, sep 3, 1939 y - Battle of the Atlantic

Description:

Since the beginning of World War II, Germany tried to destroy the United Kingdom's maritime fleet and was afraid of the great help that the United States gave to the British in the war across the Atlantic Ocean. This is how Hitler began a military campaign in the Atlantic, where he intended to sink all the Allied ships.

Between 1940 and 1942, the Germans had successfully sunk thousands of English and American ships with large weapons of war. The so-called U-boats (submarines) of Germany, were the tool most used by the Nazis to destroy the battleships and ships of their enemies. In addition to the simple sinking of ships, the Battle of the Atlantic was marked by different battles throughout its territory.

With the United States entering the war, the Germans also went to attack that country. On the east coast of the Americans, Germany sank its ships and warships. But from 1943, the British and Americans began to beat Germany in the Atlantic, sinking their ships and attacking their fleet. The danger of the U-boats was overcome by the rapid construction of Allied ships that destroyed them.
