While German Destroyers did not operate in mid-Atlantic, they did see a considerable amount of service in the Bay of Biscay( which is part of the Atlantic), and the English channel.
German destroyers and torpedo boats in fact were still active in the coastal waters of the Atlantic until after the D-Day landings. They attempted a number of attacks on the invasion fleet, but were driven off by the escort warships.
