Colossus Mk. II
Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.
Aqui teniu la reencarnació del primer ordinador del mon, el Colossus! Els models originals foren destruits per guardar-ne el secret despres de la SGM, però un esforçat grup d'enginyers anglesos l'ha refet fa uns pocs anys. El seu unic proposit era desxifrar els aparentment imposibles codis de la maquina alemanya Lorenz, que podeu veure a la foto del costat.

Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
This is the reborn Colossus, the first computer in history. The original ones were destroyed during the Cold War, but some years ago, a heroic team managed to built an exact, full working replica. Colossus managed to broke the almost unbreakable Lorenz machine cyphers, used by Hitler's hight command in WWII.
