According to many military historians, Germany’s conquest of the mountainous island of Navarone in the Aegean Sea was of utmost military importance throughout the Second World War because they realized that, if they did not exploit its strategic location, their survival against the indomitable naval might of the British would always be in peril.

"They" and "their" can't possibly refer to "Germany's", since "Germany's" is a singular, possessive noun. So I guess "they" and "their" must refer to historians, and that makes no sense at all. Eliminate (A).
"It" has no clear antecedent here, either. "Germany's" is possessive, and the subject pronoun "it" can't refer back to a possessive antecedent. Plus, it's awfully weird to say that "Germany realized" something. (B) is gone.
I like the use of "the nation's generals", but the last chunk of the sentence is an if/then statement, and we need to use the conditional "would" instead of "was." (C) can be eliminated.
This has the same pronoun problem as (B), along with the verb form problem that appears in (C).
Much better! The verb is in the proper form, and the only pronoun in the underlined portion, "they", refers nicely back to the nation's generals. (E) is our answer.

Why are we using 'would' instead of 'was'?
Since the IF statement is in simple past and Then portion is a fact about world war II,i think it should be 'Was'.
Please help me on this.
