Captain Lieutenant Prien's U47 receives its coat of arms, a bull.
To be attributed to the foolhardy exploit of K-Leu Günther Prien and his crew on this day in 1939.
U47 penetrated unnoticed into the most strongly fortified main base of the English navy -which served at the same time as home port of the "Home Fleet", in Scapa Flow -Scotland- and sank thereby the English battleships "Royal Oak", and "Arandora Star", in order to go undamaged afterwards again on homeland course.
This heroic deed brought K-Leu Prien the title:
The Bull of Scapa Flow!
In addition, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for the special undertaking - "P". In addition, K-Leu Prien was later the first recipient of the Oak Leaf to the Knight's Cross of the Greater German Navy.

Narration: The Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium is smoky with autumn rain. In this sacred place where martial arts practices and matches are held, a ceremony to send students to the battlefield was solemnly held in the early morning of October 21. The young men, summoned by the Emperor, were to go to the battlefield.
Student representative: Salute to His Excellency Prime Minister Tojo.
Prime Minister Tojo: The day has come for the young men and women of the empire to bravely embark on the path of world domination, to uplift the spirit of our ancestors, to destroy our enemies, and to support the fate of the emperor. Today is the day to liberate the billions of people of Greater East Asia from the colonial rule of the U.S. and Britain on the basis of morality, and return them to the way they should be. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Of course, there will be many young students just like you on the battlefields of America and Britain. But you will surely overwhelm and destroy them with your spirit and fighting power.
Student Representative: The edict of mobilization of students has been promulgated. For a long time, students who could only spew a little patriotism inside and outside the school can bravely follow the military service by the holy edict. I cannot stop being impressed and excited. We will carry bayonets, we will surely kill the enemy, we will devote all our years of hard study and dedication to this honorable task, and we will destroy the enemy by devoting ourselves to it. I have no intention of leaving alive. To repay the debt of gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor, I will surely live up to his expectations. I hereby make public a part of my determination, and this is my reply. Student Representative, October 21, 1943.
Prime Minister Tojo: Today is the first step toward your very happy conquest. I would like to join you all in singing the Hail Mary,"Hail Emperor, BANZAI BANZAI BANZAI"
All students: "BANZAI! BANZAI!BANZAI!"

Inejiro Asanuma was an outspoken member of the Japan Socialist Party, who declared that the United States was “the shared enemy of China and Japan.” He was running for office in the lower house of the National Diet, Japan’s version of parliament. The outspoken politician also saw hope in Mao Zedong, the Communist leader of China.
Otoya Yamaguchi saw Asanuma as an affront to his idea of the proper Japanese way of life. The Great Japan Patriotic Society, one of the Uyoku dantai of which Yamaguchi was affiliated, held that the Emperor was the authority in Japanese affairs. But since the end of World War II, the emperor no longer wielded any political power. The organization, then, wanted a return to the traditional ways of Japan without any Western influence at all.

The Assassination Of Inejiro Asanuma
Asanuma addressed an audience through a microphone while the TV station NHK broadcasted the debate on live television from Hibiya Hall on that doomed October day.
Asanuma raised his left hand to make a point. People in the crowd shouted something over the politician’s voice, either in disagreement or to try to heckle him. Police then tried to break up a group of 100 students in the Great Japan Patriotic Society, who were getting rowdy.
Then, Asanuma’s gaze suddenly shifted to the left. The TV cameras captured Otoya Yamaguchi, dressed in his school uniform, crash into the candidate with something in his hand.
It was a samurai sword about one foot long.
Otoya Yamaguchi was 17-years-old as he sat anonymously in an audience of some 100 members of the Great Japan Patriotic Society in October 1960. The young student watched the head of the Japan Socialist Party, Inejiro Asanuma, hold a political debate.Until, without warning, Yamaguchi rushed the stage. In a flash of silver steel and on live television, the student made a deadly stab for the politician.
