Abstract
Tommy Flowers was a British engineer who made important contributions to breaking the Lorenz codes during the Second World War. He led the team that designed and built Colossus, which was one of the earliest electronic computers. The machine was designed to decode the top-level encrypted German military communication sent by German High Command to its commanders in the field. This provided British and American Intelligence with information on German military plans around the D-Day invasion and later battles and helped to ensure the success of the Normandy landings and the ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany.
