[PAR] [TLE] Battle of the Atlantic [SEP] The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, running from 1939 to the defeat of Germany in 1945.  At its core was the Allied naval blockade of Germany, announced the day after the declaration of war, and Germany's subsequent counter-blockade.  It was at its height from mid-1940 through to the end of 1943.  The Battle of the Atlantic pitted U-boats and other warships of the "Kriegsmarine" (German navy) and aircraft of the "Luftwaffe" (German Air Force) against the Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Navy, United States Navy, and Allied merchant shipping.  The convoys, coming mainly from North America and predominantly going to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, were protected for the most part by the British and Canadian navies and air forces.  These forces were aided by ships and aircraft of the United States from September 13, 1941.  The Germans were joined by submarines of the Italian Royal Navy ("Regia Marina") after their Axis ally Italy entered the war on June 10, 1940.
