Colossus was built by Tommy Flowers, an engineer of the British telephone system. He followed the design suggested by Turing in his 1936 paper "On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem"

That paper is one of the most important scientific papers ever written.

Turing was on a par with scientific greats like Newton and Einstein.

The Colossus was certainly NOT constructed or designed in the US...lol

The work at Blechley Park was kept secret for so long that it clouded the true history of computing...some facts are still secret.

Turing was later the key man on a team that created the worlds first programmable electronic computer with stored program... The Manchester Baby. also created in the UK.

I was thinking the units in series were actually built in the US near the end of the war. The UK had the advantage since they captured the German coding machine. Several early computers were already in existence in the US. Sorry for the error.
