Evacuation of the British army from France. Battle of Britain - the defeat of the German air force at the hands of the raf, thus putting off the invasion of England Stalingrad - The defeat of the German 6th army by the Russians. El Alamein - British 8th army defeat the Afrika Korps. Kasserine pass - Americans take heavy losses at the hand of the Afrika Korps. Battle for Normandy - Allied troops successfully gain a foothold in France and begin to retake the country, heavy casualties were taken in the process Market Garden - British 1st airborne is essentially destroyed at Arnhem, Americans airborne takes heavy losses holding the corridor to Arnhem open for XXX corps, the attack to take bridges to cross the Rhine and win the war quicker fails. Ardennes Offensive - German counter attack through the Ardennes finally fails but after heavy casualties to the Americans and Germans. Battle of Berlin - over 2 millions Russians assault Berlin and finally capture it, ending the war. The race for the completion of the atom bomb was, an unfortunate, but, arguably the most vital victory for the allies throughout the war. I also think That the opening of a third front through Italy was another vital factor in the defeat of the axis forces.

During the WWII 607 divisions of Hitler and his allies were defeated by Soviet Army. The Allied forces (without the USSR) smashed 176 divisions of the Axis. In the battles of Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk the Axis troops losses were 2.5 millions. In 1943 near Kursk 3444 Soviet tanks and 2733 Hitler tanks have engaged. That was the greatest tank battle in human history.

What Napoleon campaigns represent the FURTHEST extent of his victories and a major turning point in his military career?

The campaigns of 1812, particularly the invasion of Russia, represent the furthest extent of Napoleon's victories and marked a major turning point in his military career. Initially successful, the campaign ultimately led to a disastrous retreat from Moscow, severely depleting his army and undermining his reputation. This failure set the stage for a series of defeats in subsequent years, culminating in his abdication in 1814. The Russian campaign is often seen as the beginning of the decline of Napoleon's empire.
