Stalin wanted the Allies to open a second front in Europe to releive pressure from his advancing army. If a second front was opened Hitler would have to split his forces and deal with two prongs that were advancing on Berlin and the Rhine, or the production heart of Germany. If either of these were taken Hitler would lose the war. The second front was made to put more pressure on Hitler and end the war quicker.
