Even a token Axis force on the border of India could have had a major impact on the war against Japan. So an Axis victory at Stalingrad could have had an adverse effect on the war against Japan. As things turned out, the Axis lost at Stalingrad, and in the process lost almost 450,000 soldiers. It was a defeat from which they could never recover.
