What European battle would you consider to be a turning point in World War 2?

The Battle of Stalingrad (July 1942 - February 1943)

The Battle of Stalingrad is widely regarded as a turning point in World War 2. It was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history, with an estimated 2 million casualties. The German 6th Army, led by General Friedrich Paulus, was surrounded and eventually defeated by the Soviet Red Army. This marked a major setback for the German war effort and a significant boost to Soviet morale. The victory at Stalingrad proved to be a pivotal moment in the war on the Eastern Front and contributed to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.
