The son of a Bulgarian immigrant who became an electrical engineer, Atanasoff held positions as a teaching professor, a governmental wartime research director, and a corporate research executive before being recognized in the 1970s and 1980s for digital electronic computer research he conducted at Iowa State College in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
John Vincent Atanasoff (ataˈnasɔf; October 4, 1903 – June 15, 1995) was an American physicist and inventor.
The 1973 decision of the patent suit Honeywell v. Sperry Rand named him the inventor of the first automatic electronic digital computer. His special-purpose machine has come to be called the Atanasoff–Berry Computer.
German engineer Konrad Zuse built the world's first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer, the Z3, which became operational in May 1941.
Not the first electronic computer. The first electronic computer was built in 1943 at Bletchley Park in the UK and was a descendant of the Turing Bombes and was called Colossus. It was designed and built by Tommy Flowers and was used to crack the Lorenz Cipher
@farodealer ENIAC was the world's first all-electronic, general-purpose digital computer. Colossus was the world's first electronic, digital, programmable computer. There is a difference between the two and both heralded milestones in computing technology.

A great machine! However, the title is, sadly, nothing more then a nationalistic lie.

@jrm21386 the title says first computer which is blatantly untrue

@farodealer True. Although, neither the Colossus nor EINAC were the first computer.

@jrm21386 I suspose that the Turing Bombes could be classed as computers

Dude I evny the man who had the soldering skills in 1946 to wire that thing at 0:30. That makes a tube amp look like a tinker toy. Unreal.
