>Taught my whole life the first computer was build by Alan Turing
>First computer was actually build by Konrad Zuse in 1941 Germany
Why do they still teach that Turring made the first programmable Binary computer?

Because it was the first useful one

At least he got to keep his balls

>German invention
>1941
I don't know, can't make the connection here.
Maybe ask Johann Philipp Reis about telephones or something.
And don't forget, the Russians were the first who shot an object into space.
>>
>>107711429
It's obviously a lie, we all know that the germans were busy killing six thousand billion jews per day during that era, they were way too busy to invent anything.
>>
>>107711429
Because Germany lost.

>Russians were the first who shot an object into space
not the v2?
>>
>>107714089
Of course it was the German V2. The same way Johann's telephone was the first telephone and the Zuse was the first computer. It's just that after the war the German government didn't assrape any nation who claimed German achievements and inventions as their own.

Nope, Google says it was Russia. It's a known fact that Germans lacked rocket technology, which is why everyone was desperate to acquire their rocket scientists after WW2.

Questions like "what was the first X" or "who was the first to do Y" rarely have a satisfying clear cut answer. Was the Wright Flyer the first aeroplane? Only if you discount earlier work on the grounds that those flights weren't sufficiently "sustained" or "controlled".

>believing AI
Can't find the screenshot but 2 years ago anon posted a screenshot of his ChatGPT discussion about this topic and after ChatGPT confirmed three times that the V2 was the first object in space, it still answered the question "Who sent the first object into space?" with "Soviet Union"
If you enter something in Google and believe whatever the AI result tells you, you're the biggest moron in this solar system.

German cope thread #125432
Never being credited for accomplishments of the ENGLISH award

Its almost like technology is collaborative effort and all these fags were probably talking to each other about making this shit for years before it was actually done.
>>
>>107714720
>It's a known fact that Germans lacked rocket technology,
everyone had rocket technology my dude. the commies built a fucking rocketplane in 1938, rocketry was all over the place. it's just that everyone else put it in its proper place for the war effort (tactical rocketry for the battlefield), while the germans sank vast sums into wunderwaffen that made no difference to the outcome of the war, because germans.

You should never trust "facts"

Germans aren't even awake right now. It's mutt poltard cope.

>>107714797
Exactly.
They always tweak the criteria until their favorite person comes out on top.
