Decoy ( German: Lockvogel) is a 1934 German adventure film directed by Hans Steinhoff and starring Jakob Tiedtke, Viktor de Kowa, and Jessie Vihrog. [1] A separate French-language version, The Decoy, was released the following year with a largely different cast. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios and on location in Hamburg, Turkey and the North Sea. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Artur Günther and Fritz Maurischat.
