Konrad Zuse

[Peter Hiscocks]

In my experience, the German computer pioneer is always spelled Konrad Zuse.

A brilliant guy, who proved that one smart person can accomplish more than
hundreds of average intelligence. (I compare his work with the computer
activities that took place in the US at the time.) Also, according to one
biographical note 'An unrepentant supporter of the Nazi regime.'
