Well, maybe wanted at some point and even tried to, but the divide of Germany, etc. was already quite settled.
The whole second front (aka western front) was demanded by Stalin and agreed in conference. So, it is no use to try to make US look like some Russian kicking bad ass cowboys. It really wasn't like that.
