You should note that Plymouth
? was used principally by the 29th Armoured Division as a staging post for the D-Day landings at Utah and Omaha beaches, so the original post was technically correct. The remains of their embarcation points known as 'Chocolate Box Hards' can still be seen at Mount Edgecombe Park, and at Saltash Passage.

Sorry, I don't get it. The Germans wanted to invade Britain between Dover and Portsmouth (and my brain inserted Plymouth, uhhh). D-Day was the other way round and took place years later. RedMabuse
Sorry, my brain hurts, I'm mixing up D-Day and the other lot's attempt to land over here! Mea culpa.
