Another example is Konrad Zuse, who started with building computing
machines in 34, had his first electrical one running in 39 and the
first electronic one in 44. Since he worked in Germany and his achieve-
ments were at once used for military purposes, he did not publish
anything before several years after world war II. His first post war
computer with a broader market was ZUSE 22 (1960), built in his
own factory - later bought up by bigger companies and today part of
Siemens.
