the battle of Stalingrad was the turning point in Europe. The city of Stalingrad was situated on the River Volga in Southern Russia and Hitler wanted to take it to cover the flanks of his forces advancing to the oil fields but also because the city bore the name of Stalin.
The battle turned into a meat grinder and the Russians refused to give it up. After months of bloody street fighting, the Russians broke through the weaker Romanian forces on the Germans flanks and surrounded the German 6th army. starvation, typhus and temperatures of -40 degrees eventually forced the 6th army to surrender.
Not only did it turn the tide of ww2 (the Germans never recovered from this defeat), but it was the worst battle in human history.
only 5,000 of the 360, 000 men of the 6th army returned and the Russians lost 500, 000 men dead.

conjunction with other Allied Nations undertake operations aimed at the heart of
Germany and the destruction of her armed forces.
Overlord was the largest amphibious assault ever undertaking in the history of
warfare(Brian 1992) the invasion began with British and American airborne landings in
the hours before dawn, and by the late afternoon we succeeded in lodging a beachhead in
Normandy. By the end of June the Allies had put nearly 1 million men and over 585,000
tons of supplies France was liberated in one month prier

Which battle of World War 2 was said to be the turning point of the war on the Eastern Front?
On the Eastern Front, the Battle of Stalingrad was the turning point. Germany was winning battle after battle, and Hitler wanted to take the oilfields in southern Russia and also the River Volga. Hitler eventually became impatient and decided to split his force and send some troops to the city on the river Volga named Stalingrad. After months of fighting, the Soviets, who basically had their backs against the walls, or river, had millions of reinforcements come in to trap the Germans, whom most of which died.
