Well the Germans took over Europe without any hassel apart from when they got to Dunkirk. Then came the Battle of Britain and against the Americans was D-Day. The Russians stopped them at Stalingrad.
DUNKIRK:
Wasn't an official battle, just some English and french troops escaping from the beach. Many would say that the Germans lost as they failed their primary target to stop the escapees.
BATTLE OF BRITAIN:
The first major battle the Germans lost against Britain was this one. The Germans flew planes across the channel to bomb RAF bases and cities. They were stopped by RAF planes and were forced to withdraw from the air.
D-DAY
The first loss against the Americans was at D-Day when American, British and Canadian forces landed at Normandy, France. The Germans failed to stop the advances of the troops and pulled back.
STALINGRAD
The Germans first los to the Russians at Stalingrad. The soviets were determined not to lose this city as it had vital oil fields that would make them lose the war if they were captured. This is where heroes like Vasily Zaitsev appeared and snipers became strategic options. The Germans were forced to retreat after they were surrounded and defeated.
(There were many battles elsewhere like in Africa, the Middle East and the North Sea. search these as they were all significant) (Also see "Bismark")

Anonymous
A fluctuating series of battles for control of Libya and regions of Egypt followed, reaching a climax in the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942 when British Commonwealth forces under the command of Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery inflicted a decisive defeat on Rommel's Afrika Korps and forced its remnants into Tunisia. After the Anglo-American landings (Operation Torch) in North-West Africa in November 1942, and subsequent battles against Vichy France forces (who then changed sides), the Allies encircled several hundred thousand German and Italian personnel in northern Tunisia and finally forced their surrender in May 1943.
