&gt; &quot;Zuse is an interesting example of history being written by the victors.&quot;<p>This may hold true for the Zuse story, but he&#x27;s also an example for german history about german scientists. While the Wikipedia article (both german and english) mentioning his ties to the NS and the german defence industry of that time, you probably find no hint about that at universities where lecture halls are named after him. For example in Hamburg, where the only &quot;real&quot; lecture hall at the CS department is named after him. In the small exhibition about his scientific life beneath this lecture hall you don&#x27;t find a word about that (at least the last time I was there).
