Telegraph's Berlin correspondent James Rothwell speaks from the German Polish border as Germany tightens border checks across all land crossings.
The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration following a surge in arrivals and terror attacks.
The checks apply to Germany's land borders with France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Denmark for an initial six months, marking a further setback to free movement within the European Union.
