The people you mentioned at the beginning of your video were important in ending the second world war. But a British Telecom Techy named Tommy Flowers first created/designed the circuitry that not only actually made Turing's machine 'Colossus' work but also has changed the world. That circuitry created the first electronic computer - with out which where would be be today. He is rarely mentioned in articles I've seen about Enigma or computers in general.
The Bombe could rightly be described as ‘Turing’s machine’ meaning primarily developed by him. Colossus may have been grounded in Turing’s theoretical work on the ‘Turing’ or universal machine (and his work in cryptanalysis probability) but as you say was developed by Tommy Flowers, who used valve technology rather than the electro-mechanical technology of the Bombe. The Bombe was used for Enigma and Colossus for the Lorenz cipher. I agree that Colossus pointed the way to the future.
Thank you very much for sharing this amazing lecture and putting in the effort to do it in English.
Brilliant lecture! Thank you very much for your consistency, passion, and hard work. Good health and new ideas to you!!
Congratulations on your excellent project, and thank you for your superb video 😊
Your English is fine.

Vielen Dank, Herr Vogels. Großartige Vorlesung, sehr gut strukturiert.
