During World War II, the initial advance of the Germans into the Soviet Union was halted in December of 1941 in front of Moscow. In their 1942 offensive, the Germans were halted at Stalingrad between August and November, with even more severe losses incurred when their army there finally surrendered in February of 1943.
Stalingrad was the main battle that turned back the German 3rd army, the elite of the elite germans. Now that Stalin isnt around to change names of cities though, and the Soviet Union no longer exists, Stalingrad has since been renamed, Volgograd since it lies on the Volga river
Erwin Rommel
The naziz were halted because they were supposed to fight on the spring date they had finalled that is spring 1941 but they fought in winter.....another reason is that there were some problems in the baltc states
Bastogne, Belgium
It halted the German advance and allowed the allies time to regroup. The German Army had aimed to knock France out of the war quickly before Russia mobilised. The victory on the Marne meant that the Germans faced war on two fronts. They simply did not have the resources for a prolonged war on two sides. Arguably, the Germans lost the war on the Marne.

There were two of them, both won by the Allies. In the battle of July, 1942 the German advance on Egypt was halted; the battle of November, 1942 started the retreat of the Germans that would only end in Tunesia where they finally surrendered.

Nothing halted the German advance to France: the Germans advanced into France and conquered the country.They only stopped when France surrendered, leaving the Northern half under German occupation and the Southern half under the Vichy government which essentially collaborated with Germany.Some French troops, sailors and airmen escaped and joined the fight (and some French warships - notably the Richelieu battleship which, with the Allies, saw combat in the pacific).There was also the French Resistance.
