Solution

The correct option is D Statement 1 is false while statement 2 is true.
Germany intended to capture a prime land for settling Germans in the long run and decided to attack Russia. They wanted to destroy the communist regime and exploit Russia’s oil resources. In June 1941, Germany launched Operation Barbarossa and attacked Russia. The German Army penetrated 1000 miles into Russia using their signature strategy- Blitzkrieg. Although they managed to march to Moscow, they were forced to back out owing to the fierce Russian winter and the resistance of the Russian Army. This led to the failure of Operation Barbarossa.
