Not by cracking Enigma?
No, not by cracking Enigma.
Enigma didn't result in 750,000 casualties and 900 Aircraft losses. Stalingrad did.
Enigma didn't result in the loss of the Sixth Army. Stalingrad did.
Enigma didn't change the scenario from Germany controlling all of Europe and its resources to playing defense from two sides. Stalingrad did.
For all the bravery and blood shed by the red army, their winter is the thing that changed the outcome of the battle. The winter forced a halt in the German advance, allowed the Russians to regroup and was the number one casualty producer
for the nazi's.
I don't undervalue the contribution code breaking made to that war, but there was only one turning point, and it came , very clearly, in Russia.
