Colossus, the first electronic digital computer, was tasked with decoding messages during World War II, particularly those encrypted by the Lorenz cipher used by the German military. The messages were intercepted by British codebreakers, who then fed the encrypted data into Colossus. The machine utilized a series of logical circuits and Boolean algebra to process and analyze the ciphered texts, effectively decoding them and providing crucial intelligence to the Allies.
The Colossus computers were made for the decoders in Bletchly Park to decode the Nazi messages in WWII. The Colossus of Rhodes was a bronze statue that served as a lighthouse in ancient Greece.
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 input for Colossus was a paper tape that went through a special optical reader at a speed of 5000 characters per second on a system of pulleys called "the bedstead". There were 8 punch positions per character on this paper tape: 5 holes for the encrypted Baudot character code, 1 character synchronization hole, 1 start hole, 1 stop hole.
