Answer: It enabled the Soviets to push the eastern front toward Germany.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the US joined WWII, the Allies agreed to a Europe first strategy where they would defeat Nazi Germany first before switching their attention to Japan.

This view was given a boost by the crushing of the German 6th Army with the defeat of Germany in Stalingrad in 1943. The Battle of Stalingrad which was said to have cost the Russians more men than the United States lost in the entire war was a turning point in the war. After this defeat the Germans could advance no more to the East and Russia maintained the offensive until they captured Berlin. This defeat convinced the Allies that Germany could be defeated first and the strategy was given the full greenlight with the Normandy Landings coming only a year later.
