Yes, East Prussia was connected to the rest of Germany through a narrow land corridor known as the "Polish Corridor," which separated it from the main part of Germany. This corridor was established after World War I as a result of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, creating a significant geographical and political separation. East Prussia remained a part of Germany until the end of World War II, after which it was divided between Poland and the Soviet Union.

Why is the strip of land between east Prussia and the rest of Germany called the Polish Corridor?
The Polish Corridor is a strip of land that was created after World War I, specifically by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, to give Poland access to the Baltic Sea. This corridor separated East Prussia from the rest of Germany, allowing Poland to regain independence after over a century of partition. The establishment of this territory was contentious, leading to tensions between Poland and Germany, as it included a significant German population. The corridor played a crucial role in the lead-up to World War II, contributing to the conflict over territorial boundaries.
Why did Germany go through Poland to get to the north sea?
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.

Was Germany broken into smaller nations?
Until Otto von Bismarck unified Germany in the 1860s creating the "Second Reich" Germany consisted of many small independently ruled nations. From 1920 until 1939 the East Prussian state of Germany was separated from the rest of Germany by the Danzig corridor of Poland, but was still politically part of Germany and not a separate nation. From 1945 until 1990 Germany was partitioned into West Germany and East Germany.
What is between Germany and Poland?
If your question is about geography, the answer is nothing, the two nations share a common border. The Poles are unfortunate in that their land has no natural, or defensible boundaries. So, over the centuries any invader can pretty much just roll right in, from any direction. This led to Poland's disappearance from the map as an independent nation in the 1700s. Poland reappeared when maps were redrawn as part of the Versailles Peace Conference process following WWI. In between the world wars Germany was geographically divided because the Versailles Peace Conference gave Poland the city of Danzig, on the Baltic Sea, so the newly resurrected Poland would have an ocean outlet. The city of Danzig (Gdansk today) was connected to the rest of Poland by a long, narrow strip of territory running south from Danzig to where the bulk of Poland was then. This was called the "Danzig Corridor", and part of Germany, East Prussia, was to the east of the Corridor, and separated from the rest of Germany by this corridor. You may be sure Hitler despised the Danzig Corridor.
