realy... Poland

Half of Poland was over-run by Germany in the first weeks of WWII. Very shortly afterwards the other half was over-run by Russia (USSR). So it was under occupation fior nearly the whole of WWII. After that, its borders were shifted 100 miles west by Russia. Poland has a history of being conquered and split up over several centuries.

What is the loss of the Polish corridor and Danzig?

Danzig is a city in Poland, now called Gdansk. It's an important sea port. The Polish Corridor was a big strip of land in western Poland that borders Germany. Before World War I, Danzig and the Polish Corridor belonged to Germany. After the war ended, Germany was forced to give up the Polish Corridor to the newly reformed country of Poland (in short summary, Poland ceased to exist about 120 years earlier when Germany, Austria and Russia conquered it and split it up between themselves; at the end of World War I, Poland was recreated). Danzig was made a "free city", basically a country of its own but protected by Poland. So the loss of the Polish Corridor and Danzig is when Germany lost World War I and was forced to give them to Poland. One of the causes of World War II was that Hitler wanted to get them back as part of Germany, and when he invaded Poland to take them, England and France declared war on him.
