If Anzio had worked

If Anzio hasd achieved it intended purpose of encirclement and destruction of the Germans Army in Italy would it had essentially opened up a Second Front? If so, would this ATL ultimately change the dimensions of a Soviet dominated Eastern Europe after the war as Churchill had hoped for?

While anzio could have been far more successful, it's really too late inthe war for the kind of change you want.

Edit: if the allies had avoided slogging up italy from the toe, it wouldhave helped.

What would have helped even more would have been earlier success in noorth africa and having better air cover earlier pp51s, say, or a dozen jeep carriers/cves.
