Choosing World War II as the context for choosing three key 'defeat-events' of Germany, the following may be reasonably offered for consideration: First, Germany's engagement in a two-front war (begun in 1941 with its attack upon the Soviet Union) led to its being surrounded and then overwhelmed in the 1940s by superior force. Second, German leadership was vain, over-confident, and criminally heedless of facts as it led the nation from one campaign to another during the war, as was seen in its choice to sustain its attack on Stalingrad in 1942. Third, Germany's choice (in 1942) to engage systematically in the Holocaust served as both a material and a moral drain on its war-effort.

The Allied invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day, in June 1944 was a major turning point in World War II. It opened up a second front in Western Europe and put immense pressure on German forces.

The Battle of Stalingrad, fought from 1942 to 1943, was a crucial defeat for Germany. The Soviet victory not only halted the German advance into the Soviet Union, but also marked a major shift in momentum in favor of the Allied forces.

The Soviet Union's advance into Germany from the east in 1945 significantly weakened the German war machine. Berlin fell to Soviet forces in April 1945, leading to the eventual surrender of Germany on May 7th.
