    Sylwetka biskupa Wilhelma Pluty z lat 1962-1965 w relacji i działaniu twórców teczki operacyjnej ministerstwa spraw wewnętrznych kryptonim „Kruk”
    Śmierzchalski-Wachocz, Dariusz (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2021)
    After taking power, the Polish communists initially concealed their true attitude towards the Catholic Church. Therefore, in the years 1944-1947, an open fight with the clergy was avoided. After achieving the first goal, already at the beginning of 1949, a massive attack was launched against the Catholic Church. This fight was carried out in many ways with varying intensity, the main executor of the party‘s directives in this regard was its „armed arm“, i.e. the Security Office, and then the Security Service. The bishop was treated by the management of section IV of the Ministry of the Interior as a very high priority. In the fight against the Catholic Church, surveillance or possible investigation of bishops was of particular importance. From 1963, the basic tool of this fight was - both as a collection of necessary information about the bishop, as well as a record of plans and a chronicle of actions taken by the security services - the Bishop Operations File (TEOB). A mutation of TEOBs, i.e. a file for the bishop, is the file entitled „Control case - Pluta Wilhelm. 1962-1986. Code name“ Kruk ”, archive number 5446 / K. In the description of the resources of the archive of the Institute of National Remembrance, it received reference number IPN BU 0608/241 and was declassified on June 18, 2009. Until the establishment of the Institute of National Remembrance, the file was in the state of the Central Archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The two-volume folder contains a total of 280 pages. The boundary years of the established case, i.e. 1962 - that is, the efforts made by Bishop Wilhelm Pluta to obtain a passport to travel to Rome and participate in the deliberations of the Second Vatican Council, and its closure on April 5, 1986, is a consequence of the bishop‘s tragic death in a car accident. In the plans of the communist leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the cryptonym. „Kruk“ was to be handed over to the „C“ Office, that is the Central Archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only in 1989, and was to be scrapped, that is, destroyed in 2005. The operating file of the Ministry of Internal Affairs entitled „The case of control - Pluta Wilhelm. 1962-1986 „is a testimony to the hostile actions that the security apparatus of the People‘s Republic of Poland carried out against Bishop Wilhelm Pluta, the bishop of first the huge Gorzów Ordinariate, and from 1972 the Gorzów diocese. The activities carried out by the Security Service, and described in this file, were not only a passive observation of the attitudes, behavior and pastoral ministry carried out by the bishop of Gorzów, but an active, conscious, purposeful and, above all, harmful interference in the activities of this hierarch and, above all, of a man and citizen of the Polish state. The profile of Bishop Pluta outlined on the pages of this file confirms that his words to his faithful were confirmed in his life. Of course, Bishop Pluta had his vices, weaknesses and imperfections, but his flaws did not diminish his uniqueness as a tireless, prayerful pastor of the Gorzów Church, which did not make a deal with the communist regime fighting against the Catholic Church and faith in God.
