Tommy Flowers invented the Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, in 1943. It was designed to help break the Lorenz cipher used by the German military during World War II. The Colossus was operational by 1944 and played a crucial role in the Allied code-breaking efforts.

Alan Turing theorised about a computer but it was actually invented and built by Tommy Flowers, a post office engineer ! He spent 1000 pounds of his own money to ensure it was built and it cracked the German High Command code, The Lorenz Cipher, shortening WWII by a year.
what year did Granville T. Woods invent the transmitter

Built in the year 480 BC ( Before Christ)
Alan Turing's invention of the programmable digital computer appeared in his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers". However as it was only used as part of his main proof on computability in that paper, he never considered how such a machine might actually be built and made to work. Many years later this type of computer architecture was named a "Turing Machine".After his World War 2 work at Bletchley Park and his exposure to Tommy Flowers' codebreaking programmable electronic digital computers called "Colossus", Alan Turing helped design and build stored program electronic digital computers (these were not based on his earlier "Turing Machine" invention).
He did not invent the car. He designed it in 1947.
Albert Einstein did not invent mathematics.
