Colossus was the actual first electronic computer, IIRC circa 1943 or 1944, two or three years before ENIAC. It was heavily classified by the British MoD until the late 1970s, but not everything came out. One of its accomplishments was the breaking of Enigma (though the capture of an entire machine helped out).
