Actually, the battle for Moscow (late 1941) was the turning point of WW2. After that the Germans never again attacked on the whole width of the front. Yes, they had major victories still in 1942, but overall lost most of the strategic initiative by late 1941. Even before Kursk (July 1943) they were only only in a position to win major battles but no longer in position to win the war.
