When did the German public realise that they were going to lose WWII?

At what point did the German people realise that the tide of the war was turning against them?

The obvious choice would be Stalingrad but at that time, Nazi Germany still occupied a huge swathes of territory.

The letters they would be receiving from soldiers in the Wehrmacht must have made for grim reading 1943 onwards.

Listening to the radio and noticing that the "heroic sacrifice of the Wehrmacht" during these battles were getting closer and closer to home.

I'm very interested in when the German people started to realise that they were going to lose/losing the war.
