Correction: Konrad Zuse finished his Z4 computer in April 1945, before
ENIAC was finished in May 1945.

And before that there were also programmable computers in several
countries that weren’t “potentially universal Turing machines” yet,
including Zuse’s Z1 in 1938, Zuse’s Z3 in 1941, the UK’s Colossus in
1943, and the Harvard Mark I in 1944, etc.

How about the ABC, or Atanasoff-Berry Computer at Iowa State in 1937-1942?
