The Polish - German border at Zgorzelec - Goerlitz (From \Warsaw to Dresden part four)

This is the journey through the Polish - German border at Zgorzelec - Goerlitz and may well be the last time I film this part of the route in Poland. The A4 motorway is close to completion which will now link up the German border at Goerlitz and Kraków (via Wroclaw and Katowice) with wall to wall motorway!
This is my one thousandth film on you tube which is a first for Polish you tube as far as original amateur films are concerned!
My channel is one of the most prolific from Poland, although not amongst the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced around 1,000 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.

Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

Isn't Dreseden the city where the Red Army killed thousands of civilians via bombings?

[alanheath]

@wwefanworld2 No, it was the RAF and USAAF who carried out the bombing of Dresden.

My great grandfather made the drive from Warsaw to Dresden once when he was young. Granted he was driving a tank and it took almost a year but he made it!

Polish pot holes welcomedvyou nicely

It is sad to see how the allies accepted the requests of Ussr that pretended a border so stupid, it has divided so many cities and it is totally unfair for the germans.

I travelled the old A4 in Polska from Bolesławiec to Bytom in 2000.

The Motorway was having in this time the old beton from the 30's and was in a very bad status.

I was in this year 7 years old xD

2003 i also travelled from Bolesławiec to Kraków at this route.
