Yep, I know. There's another interesting tidbit: John von Neumann lived in Berlin 1926-1929 and was a lecturer at Zuse's university. Contact has not been reported, and Zuse was at highschool for most of that time, but they may have crossed paths, or at least there may have been indirect intellectual influence via the surroundings Zuse studied in subsequently. It's stunning (and sad) sometimes just how much of the modern world was about to reveal itself in the academic communities of Berlin of the 20s and 30s before facism tore it asunder.
