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.

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.
