Gdansk, or at the time the Free City of Danzig, was a Free City, and not part of Poland during and prior to World War 2. It was administrated by Poland, but was a free city not under their government.
Danzig voted to join the German Reich (as it was primarily German speaking), and German troops entered and liberated (one of the few times Germans liberated anyone during World War 2) the city from Poland during the invasion of Poland.
After the war, the city along with most of Eastern Germany was granted to Poland and all German civilians were exiled or murdered, with Poles replacing them.
