As late as March 1943, the Allies were in danger of losing the Battle of the Atlantic as German U-boats were sinking Allied shipping at an alarming rate. However, just a few short weeks later in May, technological advances, new tactics, and the bravery of Allied sailors came together and turned the tide against Hitler's U-boats.
