Germany is adjacent to the North Sea. Poland is east of Germany, away from the North Sea. The Baltic Sea is adjacent on the north to both Germany & Poland.

Germany would not need to go through Poland to get to the North Sea or the the Baltic Sea. However, the Polish navy in 1939 sent ships from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea by traveling west and north past Germany, and around Denmark.

Or you may be thinking about the fact that in 1939 before WW2 started that Poland had a sliver of land called the Danzig corridor (by the Germans) that connected Poland to the Baltic Sea. However this piece of Poland cut through the old WW1 Germany boundaries, causing Germany's East Prussia to be separated on land from the rest of Germany. Look at a 1919-1939 map of Europe.
