For a while the Americans were inclined towards increasing pressure in the Pacific and later attacking Germany directly. In the end it was agreed to plan for a large scale assault via the periphery of Europe, or as Churchill preferred to call it "the soft underbelly of Europe" - initially Sicily. "Operation Husky" - the Invasion of Sicily was the start of the Allies assault on German occupied Europe (July 9&10, 1943). http://www.combinedops.com/husky.htm#Operation%20Husky
