For the Nazism elements of the Daleks, they may have looked all the more appropriate in black-and-white, until the colorful adventurism of Dr. Who/Daleks films changed that for eager children who wondered what the Daleks would look like in color. Let alone their cities and control panels.
These resurfacing old photos are therefore always a treat. So thank you and please keep them coming.
