Answer 13

For #1, you're right. By 1942, most of Europe was under Axis control.

For #2, you're also right! The Battle of Stalingrad ended with a German defeat, stopping their advance and destroying the idea that the Reich was invincible.

For #3, you're right again. The German army suffered under the harsh winter there, but they had also overextended themselves.

For #4, you're also right in naming Truman.

For #5, he did not lead the Manhattan Project, so you're right again. Good job. :)
