What was the last big victory for Germany in World War 2?
1 Answer
Germany had tactical victories until the end of the war. Offensive Victories ended in 1942 with the Case Blue offensive in Russia.
Explanation:
Although Germany eventually lost most of the gains of its summer offensive in southern Russia during 1942 it could be called a short term Victory. German forces got increasingly sucked into Stalingrad which weakened their drive to the Caucasian oilfields.
Rommel's offensive in North Africa began in January of 1942 and ended in front of El Alamein in July.
At Kasserine Pass in North Africa during February 1943 a tactical defeat of the Americans. The Battle of Bautzen in April 1945 could be seen as a tactical victory as well. Polish and Soviet losses were very large compared to the gains. The Allied Market Garden (1944) offensive also could be considered a German Victory. These last were defensive victories and so only delayed the inevitable defeat.
Germany's U-Boat War in the Atlantic was not effectively countered until early 1943.
