The first machine, Mark 1, worked in December 1943 and solved its first problem in February 1944. [5] Colossus Mark 2 was even better. It first worked on 1 June 1944, just before the Normandy Landings on D-Day. Ten Colossus computers were in use at the end of the war. British codebreakers called the teleprinter messages "Fish".

The Colossus Mark 1 was moved to Bletchley Park in January 1944 and put to work. In the meantime, Flowers had already started the design of Colossus Mark 2, a computer that would contain no less than 2400 valves. More importantly it was built in less than five months!

The prototype, Colossus Mark 1, was shown to be working in December 1943 and was in use at Bletchley Park by early 1944. [1] An improved Colossus Mark 2 that used shift registers to quintuple the processing speed, first worked on 1 June 1944, just in time for the Normandy landings on D-Day. [6]

Computers in 1946. By the beginning of 1946 two major purely electronic digital computers had been built, the ENIAC in the U.S.A. and the Colossus in the U.K. In addition there were a number of electro-mechanical machines in existence, notably the "Harvard Mark I", built at Harvard University under Howard H. Aiken , completed in 1943.

The Mark 1, however, was the largest of the three. It was 51 feet long, weighted 5 tons, incorporated 650,000 parts (Cruz, 2004), was eight feet high and two feet deep, and used at least 500 miles of wire ("Harvard Mark 1", n.d.).

The Colossus Mark 1 machine, used to help break the German Lorenz cipher in WW2, was delivered to the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire in December 1943. It was functional by February 1944. Colossus is considered to be the world's first semi programmable, electronic, digital computer.

The Mark 1 began operation on February 5, 1944. The Mark 2 unit replaced it in June of 1944, just in time for D-Day invasion. One of the early deciphered messages allowed the Allies to know that Hitler had swallowed the bait for a false landing at Calais on D-Day, giving the Allies a decisive advantage.

A total of ten Colossi were delivered, each using as many as 2,500 vacuum tubes.

The Colossus Gallery houses the rebuild of Colossus and tells that remarkable story. Colossus reduced the time to work out the Lorenz chi-wheel settings and enabled more messages to be deciphered and the whole code-breaking operation to be accelerated.

The Colossus Mark I was quickly outdated by the Colossus II, the first of which was finished by June, 1944. Nine Mark IIs were built, and the original machine was upgraded to become the tenth machine, each one occupying a large room. The Colossus II used around 2500 values and read the tape five times as fast as its predecessor.
