It wasn’t really until Midway that they were defeated, either. It’s an interesting perspective, that first 6 months of the war. Midway isn’t talked about enough as the first pivotal turning point, it was before El-Alamein or Stalingrad.
Prior to Midway, the Axis had won every battle.
almost...The Battle of Britain while not a turning point like the ones you mention was fought to maybe a stalemate. No one would call it a victory for Germany.
