Colossus is a large-scale computer system that was used by the British during World War II to decode German messages. The machine was designed and built by British mathematician Alan Turing and was the world's first programmable electronic computer. Colossus was used to break the German Enigma code, which allowed Allied forces to intercept and decrypt German military messages in order to gain insight into enemy plans and operations. In the years since its creation, Colossus has become a symbol of the power of computing and its potential to revolutionize the way we think about and interact with the world. Colossus has been the subject of many books, articles, and videos over the years. Popular books about Colossus include The Imitation Game by Andrew Hodges, Colossus: The Secrets of Bletchley Park's Codebreaking Computers by Michael Smith, and Turing's Cathedral by George Dyson. There are also numerous articles and videos available online that discuss Colossus and its contribution to the Allied victory in World War II. Popular videos about Colossus include the BBC documentary "The Secret of Bletchley Park" and the documentary film "Breaking the Code".
