2 Stalingrad as a turning-point: 1. Hitler had to change his tactics as the German army could not move across Russia as planned and meet up with the Axis powers in Egypt 2. Hitler was unable to capture the natural oil reserves in Russia 3. German forces suffered massive casualties (roughly 850,000) and lost ¼ of their strength on the Eastern Front, as well as a huge amount of supplies and equipment. The Axis forces were never able to fully recover from this loss 4. This began the eventual retreat of the German army from Russia
