In my opinion there is two main points that allowed the Allies to win the war in the European theater. The first one is when the Russians were able to stall the Germans at Stalingrad. If the Russians would have lost Stalingrad Germany would've had little resistance on their march to Moscow. The second happened when Allied forces were able to halt the last major offensive of the Germans in the Ardennes Mountains of Belgium all so known as the Battle of the Bulge.
Bastogne, Belgium
In the West it brought it to a screeching halt. The military leadership had to rethink its intelligence capacity, its logistics and its military capacity.
America landing in Europe on D Day and Russia taking the offensive to the Germans. The Battle of the Bulge was Hitlers last desperate act to get America out of Germany. Hitlers main plan was to cut through American lines all the way up to Holland. Basically the whole war led up to the Battle of the Bulge, Germany desperately wanted to win the war so they planned the Battle of the Bulge (the Ardennes Counter Offensive)
To halt the outflow of East Germans to the West.
Well, it depends on who is asking this question. During WWII the only nation that had an army any where near on par with the Germans was the Russians. The greatest battles of the war were fought on the eastern front. Not to depreciate the efforts or sacrifices of any allied veterans but on the one occasion where the Germans brought a real battle division to the western front resulted in the Battle of the Bulge where the combined allied forces were forced all the way back to Antwerp. The main reason they were stopped was that they ran out of fuel. After this Eisenhower brought the western front to a halt and let the Russian conquer Germany.

The Germans suffered first during World War I at the Battle of the Marne in September 1914. This battle marked a significant halt to the German advance into France and led to the establishment of trench warfare on the Western Front. Additionally, early setbacks occurred in battles such as Tannenberg in 1914, where German forces faced unexpected resistance from the Russian army. These early defeats contributed to the prolonged and grueling nature of the conflict for Germany.
