German: Sieglinde was a sonar decoy used during the Second World War by German U-boats. German: Sieglinde was installed in chambers on the sides of the U-boat.[1] It could be ejected to a considerable distance from the boat when attempting to hide from a seeker's sonar equipment. The German: Sieglinde was powered by electric motors, allowing it to move at and to periodically ascend or dive, thus imitating the sonar return of an actual submarine. This allowed the real U-boat to slip away quietly from pursuing ships. It was typically used in combination with German: Pillenwerfer (or German: [[Bold (decoy)|Bold]]) decoys.[2]
