Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Italy had very few tanks or anti-tank guns.

Italy only joined the Second World War in June 1940. During the War, Italy had primarily concentrated their attacks in Africa and the Middle East, leaving the majority of fighting in Europe to the Germans. However, for the Italians, the war was an unrelieved succession of military disasters. Poor generals and low morale contributed much to this outcome. In addition, Italy had very few tanks or anti-tank guns.
