Hey, it's a digital world today so we should talk about digital computers. So when I read about "world's earliest computers" I admit I had something like this Z3 in mind. Made by Konrad Zuse himself.

Thanks for posting this Dieter, I have been looking for info about this after seeing some references to it in other reading (I am fascinated with German WWII technology, mostly Luftwaffe and Armor). I believe I saw it when I visited the Deutsches Museum in the 80's, but there was very little English information posted at the time.

Curious to read what happened post-war, and how it compares with the "first" digital computers in the 50's.
