The search for WWII German bomb launching bases in France is certainly an important subject. The poorly known WWII German bomb launching base at the place called Taissiau near Dun-sur-Auron (Cher department - France) represents an interesting case. Searches for information about this base on the internet, in the DAWA catalogue of WWII German radar bases in France and at the town hall of Dun-sur-Auron were unsuccessful. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present and to deepen as much as possible the knowledge about this base in order to ensure that its existence and characteristics will be known by a large public of interested people.
