You talk as if they'd planned to join Poland and get themselves deported to Germany (not without bloodshed, by the way) five inglorious years later.
Dreams, oh dreams, where is your sweet bliss?
Love's gone cold, and all that's left is this.
No, Danzig and its surrounding area was all part of Germany prior to the great war.
Danzig was separated from Germany by the creation of the Polish Corridor after World War I, through the Treaty of Versailles.
That wasn't a treaty, so much as a horrible punishment massively detrimental to all corridors of Germany, the gov, geography, livelihoods, even their health.
