The first ELECTRONIC computer - Colossus was the first electronic
computer developed by the British to crack the LORENZ codes used by the
German high command.
The existence of Colossus remained a secret long after WWII. Until recently ENIAC was thought to be the first, but the secrecy of H.A.L. was finally lifted and we find it (and 9 others) were first operational in Jan 1944 while various portions of ENIAC were made operational in the period of June 1944 through October 1945.
