The Daleks are an obvious Nazi allegory, but how many times have Daleks and Nazis been featured in the same story?
I can only think of one, if my memory serves me correctly about Daleks Among Us. Wasn't there a Nazi in that story?
What about other off shoot fiction? Comic strips? Novels? Fan audio productions?
It seems like there should be something, since the two are parallel to each other. Or maybe it's off obvious a tact to work off of?
I can't think of any examples, but Lance Parkin's Just War reversed the Daleks-are-Nazis trope by seeing actual Nazis in Dalek terms.
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride.
What once was innocence, turned on its side.
I think it's sort of like Cybermen and Nazis. There are definite parallels to the Cybermen and a Nazi master race, yet I can only think of 2 stories featuring both. Silver Nemesis's neo-Nazis and Mike Tucker's novel, Illegal Alien, I think is the other.
shareI felt Illegal Alien was a bit of a poor (and poorly written) imitation of Just War.
I don't think the Cybermen in Silver Nemesis and the neo-Nazis were parallels so much as happened to be there at the same time. I remember sampling the novelisation and seeing that the author was trying to push the parallel, but the meanies from Mondas in this story were more like incompetent fans dressing up as Cybermen for a fund raising event.
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride.

I liked Illegal Alien, but I may have a different opinion had I read Just War. I liked the parallel between a Nazi master race and a master race of cyborgs. Would have worked better with Daleks as the master race, probably. However, out of what I've read/heard from Mike Tucker, I only like 1 of the 3 stories of his I've sampled. For Big Finish, I didn't like Genocide Machine and Order Of The Daleks was just okay.
