The role of Primate Stefan Wyszyński in the creation of the Letter of the Polish Bishops to the German Bishops of 18 November 1965 was significantly more substantial that has so far been presented in the literature of the subject. He not only approved the composition and contents of the letter but was one of its co-authors. Primate Wyszyński was an active participant of the creation of the letter of the Polish bishops to the German bishops. He was not only informed about the proceedings of the episcopates of Poland and Germany in drafting the Letter and the response to it, but by meetings and talks with the members of the respective episcopates had genuine influence on the contents of the document. What is interesting, after the Letter was delivered to the German bishops but before the publication of their answer he met Cardinal Julius Döpfner, President of the episcopate of Germany. Information confirming the thesis of Primate Wyszyński’s co-authorship of the Letter of the Polish Bishops to the German Bishops of 18 November 1965 is to be found in the source materials stored in the Warsaw Archdiocesan archive and a majority of those materials are so far unpublished. Among them one particularly valuable source is the diary of Primate Stefan Wyszyński titled Pro memoria from 1965.
