Good thing the Nazis didn't decide to fund it like the British did their computer efforts; it was a shame Zuse didn't get to participate in international computer developments for something like 10 years after the war; he deserves a lot more credit than he gets, but cut off from developments after the war, his work didn't really influence the rest of the world the way it should have.Excuse me please.
But according to Wikipedia this honor belongs to Konrad Zuse:

His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941. Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse has often been regarded as the inventor of the modern Computer.
