It maybe means nothing, but first thing that came to my mind is :
Sir Winston Churchill, the dutiful British Bulldog and his uncounted citations and ‘parables’ and saviour is British English for savior.
So many enigmatic dates in the life of that man

Second thought :
Col. Robert Baden-Powell
improvised searchlights to deter night attacks during the Siege of Mafeking during second Boer War (South Africa) making shadows that save lots of lives. Founder of the most dutiful movement : Scouts

"Electric savior" sounds pretty specific and "in the shadow" implies the person or the "belligerent date" (or something else on that date) didn't get as much focus as that "electric savior."
My mind just keeps going to Edison and Tesla and the elephant incident, but I don't think things actually add up right to fit that whole mess.
That’s true, the only thing I know is, he is British, the British Bulldog symbol and the saviour
Then the date in war needs to be a female as it is a divisive man and hero.
Or maybe the hero and the man are two persons and date each other to the whims of the whole world
I know I’m brain damaged, need to sleep

My first thought was that it's something to do with Sherlock and Watson from the 2010s movie, because I thought of Gladstone when I saw the dog. 
But you'd have to take the clues with extra salt to make that make sense, I guess, so it's probably something else.
Electric hero does seem super specific.
I don't know where the dog comes into it, I don't think it's just meant as a symbol of loyalty? Unless it's a very specific comparison, like a quoted one comparing a particular dog to a person, or a well-known attribude of bulldogs specifically.
I'm thinking there's a real pupper involved though.

Good point on the spelling! I don't think it means a woman, a divisive man could just be someone who is the source of a disagreement or social controversy, or someone (e.g. an elected individual or someone else holding power) causing a division of a unit into sides, etc.
Sorry for double post.
Congrats on solving this symbol! The answer was "June 4 1940".
For those of you wondering how this answer could be arrived at, here's a quick explanation.
TLDR: Punch every nazi everywhere.

Prescience, author of this riddle wrote:
Winston Churchill, in the aftermath of the miracle of Dunkerque, reigns in the British populace to the true extent of the threat now facing them. The horrors that had faced the French, the Dutch, Polish and many other nations before now unilaterally stared down the British, alone, without allies in the world, able to rise to their defense. Churchill, on the 4th of June delivered his famous ‘Fight them on the beaches…’ speech to Parliament, and later to the public on the wireless, giving warning, and hope, to a people who were to face the very worst of the blitz and the Nazi assault. For almost a whole year, the British Empire resisted the very worst of the German attack and even after the Soviets entered the war, still stood resilient in the face of horrendous nightly attacks. This speech has entered the collective consciousness of the West as a true message of defiance, resistance and British patriotism.
Winston Churchill wrote:
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.
TLDR: Punch every nazi everywhere.
Great work! 👏 🕵️♂️
Thanks!
