The Soviets had no choice but to fight. It was never their intention, they wanted the west to exhaust itself and then they would attack. Plus we (Actually the British) opened a second front in 1940, a third front in Tunisia in November 1942, a fourth front in Scicily in July 1943. None of them satisfied Stalin. Even Overlord didn’t satisfy Stalin, he claimed it was too small an effort.The Soviets did the fighting and dying against the Germans while we waited three years to open a second front
They had broken the Eastern Front and had Germany in retreat by D Day
