"[...] became the first in the world to be sold commercially: the Ferranti Mark I."
While Germany maintains that the first commercially sold general purpuse computer was a Zuse Z4.
Even the Wikipedia pages disagree in each language. I'm sure the French have their version of computer history.
as we joke in Bulgaria, even Jesus was Bulgarian... Columbus too :)
I seriously doubt that in 44 there would be any non governmental buyers for computers in Germany.
Not sure the Colossus was a commercialy available computer everyone could buy in '44? The Z3 was "sold" in '43 to the GAC - but was not turing complete in '43.
[1] My personal believe is it's those geniuses not countries that did the invention, it's often a team effort, people are standing on the shoulders of giants and it's always difficult to define "first" plus at the same time irrelevant.
