Return of Colossus to mark D-Day

BBC News Online technology staff
Colossus Mk2, a wartime code-breaker hailed as one of the first
electronic computers, has been rebuilt and reunited with Bletchley
Park veterans.
At Bletchley, the hub of British code operations, it crucially found
the keys to break the Lorenz code used by Hitler to encrypt messages
to his generals.
