Yes , the Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point on the Eastern Front , one from which the Germans never regained the initiative .

Vicksburg was the true strategic and logistical turning point of the war.
Meade turned back Lee's last invasion of the North. Although the true strategic turning point was Vicksburg.
Actually, Vicksburg was the true turning point. Grant sealed off the Mississippi from the South, making it unusable to send reinforcements and supplies. Battle-oriented historians go for Gettysburg, but Vicksburg is the strategic turning point.
Though considered the Turning Point by battle-oriented historians, most military science experts now consider the surrender of Vicksburg as the true Strategic Turning Point, by denying the South the use of the Mississippi for carrying reinforcements and supplies.
It is true. The reason would be after the crushing defeat of Stalingrad, the Germans began to decline from the Eastern Front.

A critical turning point. What it is actually is a moment in time where everything changes. A point in time when nothing after will ever be the same as before. To call it a turning point technically is true, but it is an overly simplistic definition of the phrase. The figurative meaning comes from the literal meaning of a point, or division in a river, or stream where the river is split into two distinct paths that will not intersect again
