Putin speaks the truth. If Eisenhower wasn't such a pussy, the Western front could have been over months earlier, saving millions from Soviet tyranny.
I don't see how. Stalin wanted us to invade earlier, as it would have taken the pressure off him. Even after the war he criticized us for not coming in earlier. I don't think it was a coincidence that the Russians started seeing gains in the East at the same time we were coming in from the West.
And Eisenhower was probably about the earliest advocate among the Allied command for opening a western front.
