A decisive battle dose not mean you take ground, it is a battle that helps decided the war. In Stalingrad the battle sent so many men to the meat grider that it lost the expereance and equpment that the Germans could have be used in other battles. That is why it is a decicive battle.

I think the decisive battle on the Eastern Front was actually Moscow. Germany's failure to knock out the Soviet Union in '41 doomed it to a war of attrition that was unwinnable.

The batlles you listed were not "decisive", but they were turning points. The Germans fought on for another two years in Russia after their defeat at Stalingrad. El Alamein was a setback for Rommel and the Afrika Korps, he would be slowly pushed back, and then challenged on two sides in 1943. The battle of Coral Sea was considered a "tactical victory" for Japan, and Midway was the turning point since Japan's naval losses were critical.

Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian, Marianas... The list keeps growing...
The Battle for the Aleutian Islands in Alaska... This campaign often gets overlooked in the annals of history. It was some of the bloodiest, and was fought on U.S. soil.
Africa
Sicily, Salerno, Anzio
The submarine war in the Atlantic.
Which do you choose as decisive? Maybe the atomic bombs of Nagasaki, and Hiroshima.
I suppose they are all decisive. "Let us never forget..." a generation of heroes, but for whose sacrifice, we would not be living in a free society.

Battle of Britain
Battle of the Atlantic
No early Axis wins or late Allied wins. They are just not decisive.
