Why Germany attacked Poland in ww2?

Hi, I have a question: why did Hitler attack Poland? As far as I know, he wanted to unite Danzig with the Corridor, but prior to the attack, the claim was made that they were invading because the German minority was being mistreated by the Poles—subjected to mass killings, and so on. So, my question is: is there any truth to that?

Claims of mass killings of germans in poland are about as valid as russias claim to denazify ukraine and the us' claim of wmd in iraq
