axis forces lost 800,000 troops and the war on the eastern front turned against them

Explanation:

The Soviet victory at Stalingrad was crucial as it led to a significant loss of Axis troops (around 800,000) and shifted the momentum of the war on the Eastern Front against them. The alliance between the US and USSR was not the main reason for its significance as a turning - point. Regaining control of France and Belgium happened later with D - Day. There was no capture of Hitler's second - in - command at Stalingrad.

Answer:

D. Axis forces lost 800,000 troops and the war on the eastern front turned against them
