朱特

449年，一位朱特族长成为了肯特的国王。

朱特的部分亲戚是亲德分子，认为纳粹时期只是一次严重的过失，并且还经常到德国度假。

Some of his relatives were germanophiles , regarding the Nazi period as a terrible aberration and holidaying often in the Federal Republic .

1967年，朱特志愿投身“六日战争”保卫以色列，当时的他变成了一位直言不讳的批评家（有人认为这种观点有失公允）。

但与许多西欧政治和历史方面的专家不一样的是，朱特了解并且关注旧时铁幕之后的国家。

But unlike many who specialise in West European politics and history , he knew , and cared for , the countries beyond the old iron curtain .
