  • Werner von Braun was a true Nazi. But he ended up a hero in the US.

  • He worked for the Henschel aircraft factory in WWII. He build his first computer alone, without any support of the Nazi Goverment or firms, thats right.

  • Konrad 'Tsus'

  • @SlayerOfLies

    The only thing I cannot seem to do on this earth is anticipate the lack in intelligence of people that will eventually cause them to respond in ever more completely unexpected ways.

    If Germany quits using the Euro the Euro is no more, if the UK saves themselves by leaving the Euro will still be. The fact that Germany makes it stand doesn't inherently make it strong overall.

    Practice your basic comprehension of relations!

  • @Cityj0hn Both the French and especialy the British would disagree with you on your claims about the Euro! If the Euro were that strong then the British would have joined. Fact is very little on the world market is traded in Euros while the pound and the LSE remain a world leader.

    Nazi's did not make any of the things you claim. Companies did under a Nazi government. Non of which did anything to help them win. In fact you could almost blame these companies for the Nazis loosing the wars.

  • the electronic/mechanical distinction is irrelevant because transistors are merely switches, just like relays were

  • @ickysdad

    No that's fine, I don't need you to agree with me thanks for the offer though.

  • @Keh0ol Well maybe we can just leave it at that. IMHO it's maybe more of a question what one calls a computer. I just feel a electro-mechanical machine falls short of what one calls a computer further some WW1 naval rangefinders were in essence mechanical "computers" . Just MHO though. We probably just have to disagree.

  • @ickysdad i'm not saying that electro mechanical was the way of the future i'm saying that the Z3 was the first machine that could be considered an early computer

    nothing more

  • @Keh0ol Another thing I'm not trying to take anything away from Konrad Zuse ,he was a genius but computers just like the A-Bomb development cannot be attributed to one person . Did Henry Ford invent the automobile??? Did the Wright brothers really invent the airplane??? Besides electro-mechanical type were a dead end being electronic ,binary and turing compliant were the wave of the future.

  • @Cityj0hn Yeah they rebuilt themslevs after WW2 with alot of US foriegn aid didn't they??? name one other nation that would defeat a nation then help rebuild it. Who protected the Germans from Stalin for so many years??? Well I'll agree the Nazi's were responsible for the Apolo rocket if you'll agree that Robert Goddard's 200+ patents made the V-2 program possible which by your reasoning lead to the Apollo rocket.
