After losing at Stalingrad and the potential of getting the Cacausius oil fields, the end was no longer in doubt. The regional conflicts at Kursk, 3rd Battle of Kharkov, and D-day only delayed the outcome. The Battle of the Bulge accelerated their decline.

the second question, answered your question. the war was won by air power.the British air force wiped out the German air force.once your air force is finished then it;s over as a whole.because most wars are won by dropping bombs to destroy factories, railroads,steel industries,and so forth.without air power then you as a country are pretty much finished.even if you have a strong ground force a war can;t be won without air power.besides general George Patton pretty much took care of the SS Panzer units.so even if the Panzer forces destroyed the Russians at the operation citadel in July 43.George Pattons tank units would of destroyed the Panzer units.once the united states entered the war it was over with for the Germans and the Japanese anyway.because now you also had the united states air force to fight as well.we had more planes then Japan or Germany had.and between the United States and Britain there was no stopping us.

Possibly.
With the soviet Union out of the war in mid 1943, all the resources deployed in the forms of army groups north, center, and south could have been turned toward the defense of Italy and prevented the Sept. 8th surrender. These groups could have also moved west and threatened an invasion of G.B. and make the idea of an Allied invasion less practical/more suicidal. Air defense in the west could have been strengthened with the elimination of the Red Air force, and 100% of the Luftwaffas resources could be deployed to check the RAF and American army aircore .
Securing oilfields in the Caucuses could have aided the V-1 and V-2 projects which heretofore operated on alcohol fuels, not to mention the rest of the oil starved Reich.
Let us not overlook millions of slave laborers and materiel the Reich would have available with the downfall of the USSR.
The effect on German moral would have been a huge boost to their war effort, and very bad for Allied moral.
These are just a few advantages the Nazis would have had.

Although British forces were exhausted then, but US actively entering the war and becoming an ally changed the whole equation. Nazi wouldn’t stand a chance anyway

No. The war was really won through air power. WE had the B-17, and Hitler bungled the deployment of Germany's Me-262(the first operational combat jet).
