I’m from Aruba, small island in the Caribbean. My grandparents always told me they had to switch off their lights at night during WW2 to not be spotted by German aircraft. How is this possible if Germany never sent its aircraft carriers to the Caribbean?

Was Germany slightly turning the tide of the war in their favor by late 1944? Did it improve morale somewhat ?
