It was the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front; from now on, the Germans would be on the defensive.
The main reason why the Battle of Stalingrad was an major defeat for the Germans were that; at first, it was the final major offensive by Hitler to make any progress on the eastern front, Germany lost about 80% of it's initial force at the time of the Soviet counter offence and Germany lost the entire 6th Army (Key unit for the battle along with the 4th Panzer Army). In addition to this, as a result for the Germans defeat (or close to defeat), the USSR launched the following Operations:Operation Winter Storm (12-23 December 1942)Operation Little Saturn (12 December 1942 - 18 February 1943)Operation Koltso (10 January - 2 February 1943)These 3 operations followed the previous Soviet Counter offence 'Operation Uranus).
The Soviet Union switched from the Axis Forces to the Allied Forces when the Nazi Germans killed 20 million people in their nation. They did have their revenge on the Nazis when they entered the Eastern Front to destroy the Nazi's Germans.
The Germans suffered a major defeat at Stalingrad in southern Russia on the Volga River during World War II in 1943. This battle marked a turning point in the war as it halted the German advance into the Soviet Union.
Germans launched a major spring offensive in 1918, known as the Ludendorff Offensive, primarily to secure a decisive victory on the Western Front before American forces could fully deploy. With Russia out of the war after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Germany aimed to concentrate its resources and troops against the Allies. The offensive sought to exploit perceived weaknesses in the Allied lines and aimed to capture key locations, thereby forcing a negotiated peace. This was seen as a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of the war in Germany's favor.
