(1)Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Base Metals ETN performance. The inception date of the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Industrial Metals(TM) is
July 12, 2006. Index history is based on a combination of the monthly returns
from the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Industrial
Metals Excess Return(TM) (the "Base Metals Index") plus the monthly returns
from the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"), resetting monthly as per
the formula applied to the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs, less the investor
fee. The Base Metals Index is intended to reflect changes in the market value
of certain futures contracts on aluminum, copper and zinc. The T-Bill Index is
intended to approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States
Treasury bills on a rolling basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT
GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

Issuer Details

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch
Long-term Unsecured Obligations(2)

Metals ETNs is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay.
The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs include limited portfolio diversification,
uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and
leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is not
equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components. The
investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon
redemption of your PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs even if the value of the
relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is zero, your Investment will expire worthless.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Base Metals
Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be
more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of
loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an
unleveraged investment.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca
through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs that you may redeem directly with Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Ordinary
brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the event of
sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. Sales in
the secondary market may result in losses.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in aluminum, copper and
zinc futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs
may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile base metal prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes
in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares
DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are
speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity
products linked to more than one commodity sector. For a description of the
main risks, see "Risk Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.
Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents filed by
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch for more complete information about the issuer

The PowerShares DB ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should be
utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and the
consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results, and who intend to
actively monitor and manage their investments. Investing in the PowerShares DB
ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components
because the current principal amount (the amount you invested) is reset each
month, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The principal amount is
also subject to the investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. The
amount you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) will be
contingent upon each monthly performance of the index during the term of the
securities. There is no guarantee that you will receive at maturity, or upon an
earlier repurchase, your initial investment back or any return on that
investment. Significant adverse monthly performances for your securities may
not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances.

risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
