The Battle on The Atlantic
The new technology used by the Allies to help win the war was the radar, which allowed ships to detect submarines in the area and mount a quick defense or, if undetected, launch an attack. This was created because the Germans had U-boats which where submarines and they were destroying Great Britain's and the United States ships, so the radar was invented to help prevent that. There was also other weapons created like the B2 rocket to take out the ships. However these where the kinds of weapons the Allies used to win the Battle of Atlantic.
