The First International Research Conference on the History of Computing was a milestone in the history of computing, drawing a global elite of computer pioneers from the first generation of electronic digital computing. Most talks are approximately 45 minutes in duration and feature a lecture with a brief question and answer period afterwards.

German engineer Konrad Zeus’s remarkable story of building advanced electromechanical and electronic computers during and after World War II is a heroic example of a visionary thinker working under nearly impossible conditions. Zuse’s wartime contributions to computing, while unrecognized at the time, are now well known, in part due to this talk.

This lecture’s transcript was included in the edited volume from the conference, viz. Zuse, K., “Some Remarks on the History of Computing in Germany,” in Metropolis, N., and Howlett, J., Rota, Gian-Carlo, A History of Computing in the Twentieth Century, New York: Academic Press, 1980, pp. 611 – 627.
