Enigma was way before computers, it was done by hand and crude mechanical calculators.
The Colossus was created to decode encrypted messages from Germany during World War Two using the infamous "Enigma" machine. For full rundown see Simon Singh's "The Code Book".
The first computer was used in the decoding of German Enigma machine codes. Blexsley Hall, England,1943
The Expert answer is wrong, Enigma messages were cracked using electromechanical Bombe machines.The computer Colossus cracked the German "Fish" codesthat the German High Command used.
The first proper computers were used to help the Allies decode German encrypted messages during World War II.
He was instrumental in the breaking of the German Enigma code in WW2 (Codename Ultra) at Station X, Bletchley Park. A computer named Colossus was built which deciphered messages: The error in the code was that no letter pressed on the keyboard would replicate itself. The British were at great pains not to let the Germans know of its ability to detect & decode messages. The Enigma machine had 3 or 4 rotors and was highly complex. Turing was one among many who made this detection possible.
The Enigma was used to decode the Enigma. The British decoders at Bletchley Park during the Second World War used brain-power to try to crack the German codes. That is, until they got their hands on an Enigma machine which the Polish had captured.

I designed it, my name is Albert Einstein. Lucky for you i was browsing wikianswers!

Colossus was a very large computer that used valves - a far cry from a modern desktop computer. It was used to help break the German's Enigma Code.
installing it back
Enigma was used for war. Enigma was first invented by German engineer in World War 1.
They were used for enigma machines. Enigma machine is a way German people sent messages in codes. A Enigma machine holds loads of codes. Enigma machines are like laptops but with massive buttons and in code form
It was called The Enigma Machine for German encoding.
the main objective of the colossus was to break the enigma code
It began with trying to decode german messages in WWII.
