HistoryList - Five most decisive battles of WWII

Five most decisive battles of WWII
  Battle Victor Reason on List
1 Battle Of Britain Allies Kept Britain in the war and bought the Allies time.
2 Stalingrad Allies This was the beginning of the end for Germany.
3 Fall of France (1940) Axis If France had held in 1940, the war would have gone quite differently.
4 D-Day Allies Any hope the Axis had ended on June 6th
5 Midway Allies Greatly reduced Japan's naval strength, enabling the Allies to start rolling them up.
