The Allies needed to keep the vital ow of men and supplies going between North America and Europe where they could be used in the ghting, while the Germans needed to cut these supply lines. The Battle of the Atlantic brought the war to Canada’s doorstep, with German U-Boats torpedoing ships within sight of Canada’s east coast and even in the St. Lawrence River.
