Did the Battle of Stalingrad mark the turning point in World War 2?

Answer 1

== == The importance of this battle cannot be overestimated. The German army lost at least 25% of its combat materiel and a first-rate army without even mentioning the psychological impact. As a turning point however, Kursk is also significant. Afer that, the Germans lost the strategic initiative on the Eastern Front. After Stalingrad, the Nazi leadership had no hope at all of winning the war: they only prolonged it. Ohh.... and by the way stop using wikianswers for history essays.....
