Answer:

This stopped the steady invasion of The Lightning war or "Blitzkrieg"

Step-by-step explanation:

The battle over Britain was a time of silent dread, waiting for the Germans to come onto the British soil was a terrifying image to overcome. The Blitzkrieg has toppled over the other countries with supposed large and proud militaries in a matter of weeks. Britain was in several words literally the last man standing. By some Miracle, the British pilots were more skilled, and held their ground until Operation Barbarossa, which led to Germany diverting resources to Russia.

Answer:

Simply put, a "turning point" is when things were going one way before an event and they were going the other way after that event. The Battle of Britain was a turning point in WWII in Europe in the western theater because prior to that Germany was going where it wanted to go and defeating everyone in the their path.
