There was disagreement among the WAllies IOTL about invading Italy, while in the mean time Stalin was pressuring the WAllies to contribute more against the Germans.

If the invasion of Italy is somehow butterflied away or delayed, could the WAllies have sent several hundred thousands troops to the Eastern front instead? Would they be able to make much of a difference in turning the tide against the Nazis faster than OTL?

And would Stalin even allow this, or would he embarass himself if he demanded Allied help, and then turn it down once he discovered they intended to send troops on to Soviet soil?
