Not very far apart in time there were two Allied victories that made a great difference to the course of WW2. The first was the second battle of el Alamein, in Egypt in 1942. It lasted fro September to November & ended Rommels' advance towards Cairo & the Suez Canal. And then there was Stalingrad. The Germans had put in a great deal of effort into the war in the East, North Africa was a much much smaller affair, and finally the Russians halted the German advance towards the Caucasus Oil Fields. Leningrad would remain besieged & Moscow out of reach for the Germans, but Stalingrad was a defeat to spark the long, long march towards Berlin. Basically once the Allies began to go on the offensive in Russia & then into Sicily & Italy they would continue slow sure progress towards Germany. Obviously there were setbacks, but essentially the Germans had won their last battle. In June 1944 Overlord was successful in Normandy, France. but it would still be 11 months before Russians & US Forces shook hands on the Elbe in Germany.
