This would be the Operation Overlord, that would involve the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944.

Stalin also stated during the conference that, in case that Turkey was attacked by Bulgaria as a result of Turkey's involvement in the war against Germany, then the Soviet Union would instantly open a war against Bulgaria.
