Stalingrad is generally regarded as the key turning point in the war in Europe. After that Hitler had no hope of winning the war; he was only able to prolong it. Stalingrad was a major defeat with the surrender of the 6th Army. This was where the Russians stopped the German advance towards the oil-fields, without which the Germans could not continue fighting the war for very long.
