It's pretty straightforward; the Nazis were whomping the Russians in 1942 and '43, and Stalin was desperate for something - ANYTHING - to take the heat off of his troops. He figured if the Allies (the Americans and British) were to re-invade western Europe, the Germans would need to transfer a lot of their forces to France and take the heat off of the Russians.
