Commodity Exchange Traded Notes

Description
The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DYY),
PowerShares DB Commodity Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DPU), PowerShares
DB Commodity Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DDP) and PowerShares DB
Commodity Double Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DEE) (collectively, the
"PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs") are the first United States exchange traded
products that provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to
take a long, short or leveraged view on the performance of a broad-based
commodity index.

All of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are based on a total return version of
the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index[] (the "Index") which is designed to
reflect the performance of certain wheat, corn, light sweet crude oil, heating
oil, gold and aluminum futures contracts plus the returns from investing in 3
month United States Treasury Bills. The Long and Double Long ETNs are based on
the Optimum Yield[] version of the Index and the Short and Double Short ETNs
are based on the standard version of the Index. The Optimum Yield[] version of
the Index attempts to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize
the positive effects of backwardation by applying flexible roll rules to pick a
new futures contract when a contract expires. The standard version of the
Index, which does not attempt to minimize the negative effects of contango and
maximize the positive effects of backwardation, uses static roll rules that
dictate that an expiring futures contract must be replaced with a contract
having a pre-defined expiration date.

Investors can buy and sell PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs at market price on the
NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or early
redemption based on the performance of the index less investor fees. Investors
may redeem PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000
securities and integral multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter, subject to
the procedures described in the pricing supplement which include a fee of up to
$0.03 per security.

Issuer Details

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

(1)Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Commodity ETN performance. The inception date of the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (DBLCI) is Jan. 12, 2004. The inception
date of the Index's Optimum Yield version is May 24, 2006. Index history is
based on a combination of the monthly returns from the relevant commodity 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 Commodity
ETNs, less the investor fee. Index history for the Long and Double Long ETNs is
based on the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield[], and index
history for the Short and Double Short Commodity ETNs is based on the standard
version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (collectively, the
"Commodity Indexes"). The Commodity Indexes are intended to reflect changes in
the market value of certain commodity futures contracts based on crude oil,
heating oil, corn, wheat, gold and aluminum. 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.

(2)The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares DB
Commodity ETNs is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to
pay. The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs include limited portfolio diversification,
uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and
leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Commodity 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 Commodity ETNs even if the value of the
relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs is zero, your Investment will expire worthless.

The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Commodity
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 Commodity ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca
through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of
PowerShares DB Commodity 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 Commodity ETNs. Sales in the
secondary market may result in losses.

The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are concentrated in commodity futures
contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in
interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. For a description
of the main risks, see "Risk Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement.

herein (including attachments) (i) is not intended or written to be used, and

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 and this offering.
You may get these documents for free by visiting www.dbfunds.db.com/notes or
EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you may request a
prospectus by calling 1-877-369-4617, or you may request a copy from any dealer
participating in this offering.

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.
