Many historians believe the Luftwaffe was winning the Battle of Britain by concentrating on airfields and aircraft factories.
On August 25th, 1940, bombers from the RAF mistakingly bombed some civilian targets in Berlin in a night raid, due to poor weather. This caused Hitler to enact operation Vergeltungsangriff, or revenge attack, and caused the Luftwaffe to concentrate their bombing on London.
The resulting relief allowed the RAF critical time to recover losses and they were able to concentrate their fighters to inflict heavy losses on the Luftwaffe.
If the Luftwaffe had gained air superiority over Britain, they could have countered the Royal Navy and allowed an uncontested invasion of an already weakened enemy, as many of the British were deployed to North Africa. It could have easily turned the tide of WWII, and is probably the most important battle.
Arguements could be made for Stalingrad or Midway, but if the Battle of Britain was lost, those other battles probably wouldn't have happened.
