Yes, while Dunkirk was the primary evacuation site during Operation Dynamo, other French ports such as Boulogne and Calais also played roles in the evacuation efforts in 1940. However, these ports faced heavy German attacks and were ultimately less successful in facilitating large-scale evacuations compared to Dunkirk. The evacuation from these locations was more chaotic and resulted in fewer troops being rescued. Nonetheless, they were part of the broader effort to evacuate British and Allied forces from France.
