INTERNAL CONTROL RPT

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Deutsche DWS
Investment Trust and Shareholders of DWS
Large Cap Focus Growth Fund:

In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of DWS Large Cap Focus
Growth Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds
constituting Deutsche DWS Investment Trust)
(the "Trust"), as of and for the year ended July
31, 2021, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), we considered the Trust's
internal control over financial reporting,
including controls over safeguarding securities,
as a basis for designing our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.

The management of the Trust is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A
company's internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a company's assets that could
have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of
a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the
company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.

Our consideration of the Trust's internal control
over financial reporting was for the limited
purpose described in the first paragraph and
would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Trust's internal control over
financial reporting and its operation, including
controls over safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness as defined
above as of July 31, 2021.

This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board of
Trustees of Deutsche DWS Investment Trust
and the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is not intended to be and should not be used
by anyone other than these specified parties.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Item G.1.a.i - Deutsche DWS Investment Trust
(formerly DWS Investment Trust)

On December 7, 2010, Deutsche DWS Investment
Trust (formerly DWS Investment Trust) (the
"Trust") was named as a defendant in the First
Amended Complaint filed by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in the
lawsuit styled Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors of Tribune Company, et al., v. Fitzsimons
et al. (the "Lawsuit").  The Lawsuit arises out of a
leveraged buyout transaction ("LBO") in 2007 by
which loans were made to the Tribune Company to
fund the LBO and shares of the Tribune Company
held by shareholders were tendered for or were
converted to a right to receive cash.  Following the
completion of the LBO in 2007, the Tribune
Company filed for bankruptcy.  The Lawsuit seeks
to recover all payments made to the shareholders in
the LBO.  The Lawsuit has been consolidated in a
multi-district litigation (the "Tribune MDL") in the
United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, case no. 12-MC-2296 (the
"District Court").  On January 6, 2017, the District
Court dismissed with prejudice the only claim (for
avoidance of alleged intentional fraudulent
transfers) asserted against the shareholder
defendants named in the Lawsuit.

On April 4, 2019, the plaintiff in the Lawsuit filed a
motion to amend his complaint to add constructive
fraudulent conveyance claims against shareholder
defendants based on an alleged change in governing
law resulting from the Supreme Court's decision in
FTI Consulting, Inc. v. Merit Management Group,
830 F.3d 690 (7th Cir. 2016).  On April 23, 2019,
the District Court denied that motion.  On July 15,
2019, the plaintiff in the Lawsuit filed a notice of
appeal to the Second Circuit for these District Court
rulings in the Lawsuit.  On August 20, 2021, the
Second Circuit affirmed dismissal of the Trustee's
intentional fraudulent conveyance claims and
affirmed the District Court's denial of the Trustee's
request to amend his complaint.  On September 3,
2021, the Trustee filed a motion for rehearing en
banc before the Second Circuit, which remains
pending.

We express no opinion on the likely outcome of
these matters. Management is currently assessing
the Lawsuit and has not yet determined the effect, if
any, on any series of the Trust.

None of the Trust's current Series have exposure in
the litigation. A former Series of the Trust, DWS
S&P 500 Index Fund, had been a beneficial holder
of shares of the Tribune Company.  DWS S&P 500
Index Fund was reorganized from the Trust into
Deutsche DWS Institutional Funds on April 29,
2011.
