Crude Oil Exchange Traded Notes

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Description
Deutsche Bank is committed to giving investors cost-effective and convenient
access to sophisticated investment products.

PowerShares DB Crude Oil Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: OLO), PowerShares
DB Crude Oil Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: SZO) and PowerShares DB Crude
Oil Double Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DTO), (collectively, the
"PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 an oil based
commodity index.

All of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are based on a total return version of
the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Oil (the "Index"), which is
designed to reflect the performance of certain crude oil futures contracts plus
the returns from investing in 3 month United States Treaury Bills. The Long ETN
is 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 Crude Oil 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 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.

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

(1)Index data is as of June 30, 2010. Index history is for illustrative
purposes only and does not represent actual PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETN
performance. The inception date of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index --
Oil 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 (as defined below) 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 Crude Oil ETNs, less the investor
fee. Index history for the Long ETN is based on the Deutsche Bank Liquid
Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Crude Oil[], and index history for the Short
and Double Short ETNs is based on the standard version of the Deutsche Bank
Liquid Commodity Index -- Light Crude[] (the "Commodity Indexes"). The
Commodity Indexes are intended to reflect changes in the market value of
certain crude oil futures contracts. The T-Bill Index is intended to
approximate 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 Crude Oil ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares DB Crude
Oil ETNs is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The
PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the
PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs include limited portfolio diversification,
uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and
leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil ETNs even if the value of the
relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the
PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs is zero, your Investment will expire worthless.

The PowerShares DB Crude Oil Double Short ETN is a leveraged investment. As
such, it is 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 Crude Oil ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca
through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of
PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil ETNs. Sales in the
secondary market may result in losses.

The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are concentrated in crude oil futures
contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile oil prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in
interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares DB
Crude Oil 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.

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

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
and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting

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
                                                                               2
