Best Answer

Russia wanted the other Allies to invade Europe and put pressure on the Axis from another direction. This would mean that Germany would have to divide their forces as well as supplies. If the Germans didn't do that the British, Americans and Canadians could march unopposed into Germany. The landing at D-Day created the second front the Russians wanted.
