Subsequently the Germans were dealt major defeats first at the Battle of Stalingrad in the winter of 1942 – 43, and then in the Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943.

A generation of Soviet commanders ( notably Georgy Zhukov ) learned from the defeats, and Soviet victories in the Battle of Moscow, at Stalingrad, Kursk and later in Operation Bagration proved decisive.
