"Second Happy Time" This campaign involved German submarines targeting Allied merchant shipping along the U.S. coast, taking advantage of the initially weak U.S. antisubmarine defences.

By publicising U-boat attacks, the government could emphasise the severity of the threat posed by the Axis powers and highlight the need for a united national effort to counter this threat. It highlighted the aggressive actions of Germany and its allies, portraying them as ruthless adversaries who posed a direct threat to the safety and security of the United States. This narrative could reinforce the idea that the U.S. was justified in its involvement in the war and needed to continue fighting until victory was achieved. This could help maintain morale on the home front and bolster support for the war effort during challenging times.
