Largely inconclusive, it still involved some 50,000 Pakistani troops and around 150 tanks against an Indian force of upwards of 150,000 men and some 260 tanks. One of the largest tank engagements since the Second World War, the Battle of Chawinda was fought between India and Pakistan from September 14 to September 19, 1965.
The Germans would go on to lose an entire army at the Battle of Stalingrad, which was also well underway, but it could be argued that the true turning point of World War II was at El Alamein. While the Allies suffered high causalities and lost upwards of half their tanks, more than half the Axis force was killed, wounded, or captured and nearly the entire German/Italian tank forces were destroyed in the battle.
