German naval commander, Karl Dönitz, invented a style of fighting known as Submarine Warfare Doctrine, or . Dönitz employed this method of fighting during the Battle of the Atlantic. By placing U-Boats (German submarines) strategically throughout the Atlantic, he would have one U-Boat sight a convoy but not attack. Instead, the U-Boat would signal other U-Boats throughout the Atlantic to alert them of the location of the convoy. The submarines would then converge on a meeting spot and attack all at once, decimating the convoy. This was an extremely effective method of fighting and provided Germany with some early successes in its Tonnage Strategy against Great Britain.

Although the TVA provided electricity to areas that had never had it, built much needed infrastructure, and created thousands of jobs for locals (all paid for by the federal government), it also increased distrust of the government in the region as some families were forced to relocate. While those forced to move were adequately reimbursed by the government, they continued to resent the issue because they had to abandon their homes, land, and property.
