Return of Colossus to mark D-Day

By Jo Twist
BBC News Online technology staff

Colossus Mk2, a wartime code-breaker hailed as one of the first 
electronic computers, has been rebuilt and reunited with Bletchley 
Park veterans.

At Bletchley, the hub of British code operations, it crucially found 
the keys to break the Lorenz code used by Hitler to encrypt messages 
to his generals.
