End of the war — Refugees in Hinterstein — The Plankalkül — The computing universe — Automation and self-reproducing systems — A logarithmic computing machine — Computer development in Germany and the United States — Move to Hopferau near Füssen — The mill of the Patent Office
The Allgäu had remained relatively unscathed by the war. Only now, in the final days of the war, did the refugees start to arrive. Helmut O. Goeze describes the situation very aptly:
Since early Apr...
