The pressure exerted on the Russian forces by the invading Germans was so immense that Josef Stalin, the ruler of Soviet Russia, was urging his allies to provide a distraction by making an Anglo-American landing in northern Europe.
Opening a Second Front
This, Stalin hoped, would create a “second front” that would oblige the Germans to divide their forces and so relieve at least some of the burden Stalin’s Red Army and air force were having to bear.
However, despite their enormous industrial capacity, the Americans were not yet ready to comply. Only a few months had passed since the United States was pitchforked into the war by Japan’s sneak attack on its Pacific fleet moored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In 1942, the US could provide only forty percent of the men and matériel a second front would require.
