Some have mistakenly said that Turing was a key figure in the design of the Colossus computer. Turingery and the statistical approach of Banburismus undoubtedly fed into the thinking about cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher,[82][83] but he was not directly involved in the Colossus development.[84]
Yep. I guess it depends on the definition of a computer.
The bombe was an electromechanical device used by British cryptologists to help decipher GermanEnigma-machine-encrypted secret messages during World War II.[2] The US Navy[3] and US Army[4] later produced their own machines to the same functional specification, but engineered differently from each other and from the British Bombe.
