Abstract	"Forced to flee Germany in 1933, the eminent theatre critic and journalist, and fiercely vocal anti-Nazi, Alfred Kerr fell in love with the calmness and decency of the British people. With much dry wit and some perplexity, his journal, translated here from German into English for the first time, savours the quirks and foibles of this enigmatic nation, wondering whether it would emerge at long last to confront the brown-shirted, jack-booted pestilence and become the saviour of civilisation. He grew to love this 'inscrutable' country, and in particular their long-sustained effort to appease the 'brown war-menace', composing his characteristically humorous and perceptive journal in an attempt to understand the British, 'a mystery even to themselves'. This is the longest ever thank-you letter from a migrant to Great Britain. Because of his complex style, none of Alfred Kerr's many publications has ever been translated.
