WW2 propaganda poster. Your thoughts?

[KangaWoo]

This is one of those items I have picked up on my travels that I have zero idea on as far as rarity, value, authenticity etc....

If it's genuine I imagine it could be quite rare as I believe not a lot of this stuff survived.

I would be glad to see it go (even burned) as it's not my thing, but I don't know to ask $5 or $500 if you know what I mean.

So any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cool poster. Text translates to roughly (per Google Translate): "Our soldiers defend everything that we eliminate, what we call the German spirit, German art and German science, the freedom of research and the nation". The Germans printed thousands of these and plastered them everywhere. From memory there would be a new one every few days. They usually contained quotes from Hitler, Goebbels etc. This particular one is from Goebbels. Unfortunately not that rare. In really nice shape and depending on subject matter these will generally sell for less that $100.00. I'd personally value this one at about half of that due to the damage.
