D
Explanation :
The battle for Stalingrad in 1943 was a major turning point in World War II as it marked the first significant defeat for the German army and stalled their advances in the eastern front. This put them on the defensive and shifted the momentum of the war towards the Allies. The Allied invasion of Poland happened in September 1939, while the liberation of France and the battle for Aachen happened later in 1944.
