The basic context of this phrase translates, "I didn't know there was such a close connection."

=============================================================

The German sentence is grammatically incorrect and the translation isn't quite right.

I didn't know of this close connection = Ich kannte diese enge Verbindung nicht (the word haben is wrong here)

however, if the word kannte (knew) is spelled wrong and is actually konnte (could, past tense of can) then the sentence takes on a whole new meaning:

Ich konnte diese enge Verbindung nicht haben - I couldn't have this close relationship
