My father told me that the real concern at the time was not knowing for sure if the Germans had wind of the pending Normandy landings via captured Documents on drowned troops or even someone having been captured.

Remember, the Allies used the washed up body trick(launched from a sub actually) to fool the Germans into what area the landings would occur in.
