20,000,000 PowerShares DB Crude Oil Double Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038

20,000,000 PowerShares DB Crude Oil Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038

20,000,000 PowerShares DB Crude Oil Long Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038

We are offering three separate Exchange Traded Notes (“securities”). Investors can subscribe to any of the three offerings. The securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and do not pay any interest during their term. For each security, investors will receive a cash payment at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, if any, linked to the month over month performance of a total return version of a crude oil-linked index (“Index”), less an investor fee. For the PowerShares DB Crude Oil Double Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Double Short ETNs”) and the PowerShares DB Crude Oil Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Short ETNs,” and together with the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, the “Short ETNs”), the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^TM. For the PowerShares DB Crude Oil Long Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Long ETNs”), the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^TM. For each security, the return on the Index is derived by combining the returns on two component indices: the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index and the relevant crude oil index. For the Short ETNs, the relevant crude oil index will be the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Light Crude^TM Excess Return (the “DB benchmark crude oil index”). For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, the relevant crude oil index will be the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^TM Excess Return (the “DB optimum yield crude oil index” and, together with the DB benchmark crude oil index, the “crude oil indices” and each a “crude oil index”). The Short ETNs offer investors short, or inverse, exposure to the DB benchmark crude oil index, meaning the value of the Short ETNs will increase with monthly depreciations and decrease with monthly appreciations of the DB benchmark crude oil index. The Crude Oil Long ETNs offer investors long exposure to the DB optimum yield crude oil index, meaning the value of the Crude Oil Long ETNs will increase with monthly appreciations and decrease with monthly depreciations in the DB optimum yield crude oil index. In addition, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs are two times leveraged with respect to the relevant crude oil index and, as a result, will benefit from two times any beneficial, but will be exposed to two times any adverse, monthly performance of the relevant crude oil index.

The Crude Oil Double Short ETNs offer investors exposure to two times the monthly inverse performance of the DB benchmark crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return, subject to the investor fee.

The Crude Oil Short ETNs offer investors exposure to the monthly inverse performance of the DB benchmark crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return, subject to the investor fee.

The Crude Oil Long ETNs offer investors exposure to the monthly performance of the DB optimum yield crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return, subject to the investor fee.

If the applicable index factor is zero on any trading day, the repurchase value will equal zero, the securities will be accelerated and you will lose your entire investment in the securities.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. will charge investors an additional fee of up to $0.03 for each security which is repurchased. See “Repurchase Mechanics” below for additional requirements for offering your securities for repurchase.

If the applicable index factor is zero on any trading day, the repurchase value will equal zero, the securities will be accelerated and you will lose your entire investment in the securities.

Deutsche Bank will post the repurchase value for each offering of securities each day and an intraday indicative value every 15 seconds meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of each offering of securities on the following Bloomberg pages:

SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the terms of the securities, as well as a discussion of risks and other considerations you should take into account when deciding whether to invest in the securities. The information in this section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed explanations set forth elsewhere in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus. References to the “prospectus” mean our accompanying prospectus, dated September 29, 2009, and references to the “prospectus supplement” mean our accompanying prospectus supplement, dated September 29, 2009, which supplements the prospectus.

We may, without your consent, create and issue securities in addition to those offered by this pricing supplement having the same terms and conditions as the securities. We may consolidate the additional securities to form a single class with the outstanding securities.

What are the securities and how do they work?

We are offering three separate Exchange Traded Notes:

•

PowerShares DB Crude Oil Double Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Double Short ETNs”)

•

PowerShares DB Crude Oil Short Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Short ETNs”)

•

PowerShares DB Crude Oil Long Exchange Traded Notes due June 1, 2038 (“Crude Oil Long ETNs”)

We refer to each Exchange Traded Note as a security. Each of the three offerings of securities are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank, acting through its London branch. Investors can subscribe to any of the three offerings.

Each security being offered has separate terms and offers investors a different type of monthly exposure to an Index, which is a total return version of a crude oil-linked index, subject to an investor fee. For the Crude Oil Double Short

ETNs and the Crude Oil Short ETNs (together, the “Short ETNs”), the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^™. For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™. The securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and do not pay any interest.

What is the Index?

For the Short ETNs, the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^™, and the performance of the Index is obtained by combining the returns on two component indices: the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (“TBill index”) and the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^™ Excess Return (“DB benchmark crude oil index”). For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™, and the performance of the Index is obtained by combining the returns on two component indices: the TBill index and the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™ Excess Return (“DB optimum yield crude oil index” and, together with the DB benchmark crude oil index, the “crude oil indices” and each a “crude oil index”).

The DB benchmark crude oil index and the DB optimum yield crude oil index are both intended to reflect the price changes, positive or negative, in the West Texas Intermediate Light Sweet Crude oil futures contract. The crude oil indices differ only in the methodology they use for replacing underlying futures contracts that are near expiration. This difference is described more fully below under “The Indices”.

The TBill index is intended to approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling basis.

What exposure do the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs offer?

The Crude Oil Double Short ETNs offer investors two times leveraged exposure to the inverse monthly performance of the DB benchmark crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return, subject to the investor fee.

If the DB benchmark crude oil index decreases over any calendar month (a “beneficial monthly performance”), the return on the Index for the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs will increase by two times the movement of the DB benchmark crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return. If the DB benchmark crude oil index increases over any calendar month (an “adverse monthly performance”), the return on the Index will decrease by two times the movement of the DB benchmark crude oil index, subject to the addition of the monthly TBill index return.

What exposure do the Crude Oil Short ETNs offer?

The Crude Oil Short ETNs offer investors unleveraged exposure to the inverse monthly performance of the DB benchmark crude oil index plus the monthly TBill Index return, subject to the investor fee.

If the DB benchmark crude oil index decreases over any calendar month (a “beneficial monthly performance”), the return on the Index for the Crude Oil Short ETNs will increase by the movement of the DB benchmark crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return. If the DB benchmark crude oil index increases over any calendar month (an “adverse monthly performance”), the return on the Index will decrease by the movement of the DB benchmark crude oil index, subject to the addition of the monthly TBill index return.

What exposure do the Crude Oil Long ETNs offer?

The Crude Oil Long ETNs offer investors unleveraged exposure to the monthly performance of the DB optimum yield crude oil index plus the monthly TBill Index return, subject to the investor fee.

If the DB optimum yield crude oil index increases over any calendar month (a “beneficial monthly performance”), the return on the Index for the Crude Oil Long ETNs will increase by the movement of the DB optimum yield crude oil index, plus the monthly TBill index return. If the DB optimum yield crude oil index decreases

over any calendar month (an “adverse monthly performance”), the return on the Index will decrease by the movement of the DB optimum yield crude oil index, subject to the addition of the monthly TBill index return.

How is the payment at maturity calculated?

At maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase), subject to the credit of the Issuer, you will receive a payment per security which will reflect the month over month performance of the index factor for the particular offering of securities, subject to the investor fee.

Because the current principal amount is reset each month and is subject to the investor fee, the securities do not offer a return based on the simple performance of the Index from the inception date to the maturity date. Instead, 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, subject to the investor fee. Accordingly, even if over the term of the securities, the Index has demonstrated an overall beneficial performance for your particular securities (i.e. the DB benchmark crude oil index decreases for the Short ETNs or the DB optimum yield crude oil index increases for the Crude Oil Long ETNs), 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. This is because the amount you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) depends on how the Index has performed in each month prior to maturity (or repurchase) and consequently, how the current principal amount has been reset in each month. In particular, significant adverse monthly performances for your securities may not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances.

If the repurchase value for your securities decreases to zero on any trading day, the securities will accelerate on that day for an amount equal to the zero repurchase value and you will not receive any return of your investment.

Current principal amount × applicable index factor on the final valuation date

valuation date for the repurchase were the monthly valuation date. During the month, the current principal amount will remain unchanged and the amount for which Deutsche Bank would repurchase your securities will depend upon the index factor on the applicable valuation date, the current principal amount and the fee factor as accrued to such valuation date.

The current principal amount is reset each calendar month to ensure that a consistent degree of leverage is applied to any performance of the Index. If the current principal amount is reduced by an adverse monthly performance, the index factor of any further adverse monthly performance will lead to a smaller dollar loss when applied to that reduced current principal amount than if the current principal amount were not reduced. Equally, however, if the current principal amount increases, the dollar amount lost for a certain level of adverse monthly performance will increase correspondingly.

Resetting the current principal amount also means that the dollar amount which may be gained from any beneficial monthly performance will be contingent upon the current principal amount. If the current principal amount increases, then any beneficial monthly performance will result in a gain of a larger dollar amount than would be the case if the current principal amount decreases. Conversely, as the current principal amount is reduced towards zero, the dollar amount to be gained from any beneficial monthly performance will decrease correspondingly.

How are the fees calculated?

The fee factor is calculated daily based on a rate of 0.75% per annum and a day-count fraction measuring the number of days elapsed from and including the monthly reset date (or the inception date in the case of the first calendar month) to and including the monthly valuation date (or the trading day, valuation date or final valuation date, as applicable) within a 365 day year.

The fee factor is applied to the current principal amount when it is reset on each monthly reset date. Accordingly, the dollar amount of fees which will be deducted from the current principal amount will depend upon the performance of the index factor during the previous month and the number of days in that month.

If you offer your securities for repurchase by Deutsche Bank, the fee factor will be applied as accrued to the applicable valuation date from the immediately preceding monthly reset date. Similarly, at maturity, the amount you receive will be subject to the fee factor as accrued to the final valuation date from the immediately preceding monthly reset date.

Because the investor fee reduces the current principal amount each month and the amount of your return at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank, the applicable index factor must increase by an amount sufficient to offset the investor fee applicable to your securities in order for you to receive at least your initial investment back at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank. If the index factor decreases or does not increase sufficiently, you will receive less than your initial investment back at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank. The applicable index factor will increase upon decreases of the relevant crude oil index for the Short ETNs and upon increases of the relevant crude oil index for the Crude Oil Long ETNs.

What indicative value of the securities will be published?

An intraday “indicative value” meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of each of the offerings of the securities will be published every 15 seconds on the following Bloomberg pages:

•

Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: “DTOIV”

•

Crude Oil Short ETNs: “SZOIV”

•

Crude Oil Long ETNs: “OLOIV”

The actual trading prices of the securities may vary significantly from their indicative values.

Additionally, the calculation agent will publish the daily repurchase value for each offering of securities on the following Bloomberg pages:

•

Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: “DTORP”

•

Crude Oil Short ETNs: “SZORP”

•

Crude Oil Long ETNs: “OLORP”

On any trading day, the repurchase value will be calculated as follows:

Current principal amount × applicable index factor on the trading day × fee factor on the trading day

How do you offer your securities for repurchase by Deutsche Bank?

To effect a repurchase, you must irrevocably offer at least 200,000 securities (or an integral multiple of 50,000 securities in excess thereof) from a single offering to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”) no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on your desired valuation date, which must be no later than the final valuation date. The transaction will settle on the repurchase date, which will be the third business day following the valuation date.

If you wish to offer your securities to Deutsche Bank for repurchase, you and your broker must follow the following procedures:

•

your broker must deliver an irrevocable Offer for Repurchase, a form of which is attached as Annex A to this pricing supplement, to DBSI by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on your desired valuation date. The applicable repurchase date will be three business days following the valuation date. You must offer at least 200,000 securities or an integral multiple of 50,000 securities in excess thereof for repurchase by Deutsche Bank on any repurchase date. You may not combine securities from separate offerings for the purpose of satisfying the minimum repurchase amount. DBSI must acknowledge receipt from your broker in order for your offer to be effective;

•

your broker must book a delivery vs. payment trade with respect to your securities on the applicable valuation date at a price equal to the applicable repurchase value, facing DBSI; and

•

cause your DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the repurchase date (the third business day following the valuation date, subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event as described under “Specific Terms of the Securities – Market Disruption Events”).

interest in the securities in respect of such deadlines. If DBSI does not receive your offer for repurchase by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on your desired valuation date, your notice will not be effective and we will not accept your offer to repurchase your securities on the repurchase date. Any repurchase instructions that we receive in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable.

DBSI may charge a fee of up to $0.03 per security which is repurchased.

How do you sell your securities?

The securities in each offering are listed on NYSE ARCA. To the extent there is an active secondary market in any of the securities, we expect that investors will purchase and sell such securities primarily in this secondary market.

Can the securities be accelerated?

Upon a zero repurchase value

Upon a regulatory event

We will have the right to accelerate all of the outstanding securities for an amount equal to the repurchase value on the trading day we give notice of our exercise of this right if a regulatory event has occurred and, in the opinion of the calculation agent, is materially interfering with our ability to effectively hedge our exposure under the securities.

The day on which we give you notice will be a “valuation date” for the purposes of the terms of the securities. The transaction will settle on the “acceleration date”, which will be the third business day following the applicable valuation date. We will give you notice of the acceleration of the securities through the customary channels.

A “regulatory event” means:

(a) an amendment to or change (including any officially announced proposed change) in the laws, regulations or rules of the United States

(or any political subdivision thereof), any jurisdiction in which a relevant exchange (as defined below) is located or any commodities exchange or market that occurs on or after the inception date; or

(b) any official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, regulations or rules that is announced on or after the inception date.

How do you determine the number of securities outstanding at any time?

The number of securities outstanding at any time for each offering will be published on the following Bloomberg pages:

•

Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: “DTOSO”

•

Crude Oil Short ETNs: “SZOSO”

•

Crude Oil Long ETNs: “OLOSO”

DB Crude Oil Commodity Index

What are the tax consequences of an investment in the securities?

You should review carefully the section of this pricing supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Although the tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain, we believe it is reasonable to treat the securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on current law, under this treatment you should not recognize taxable income prior to the maturity of your securities, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, and your gain or loss on the securities should be capital gain or loss and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the securities for more than one year. If, however, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities could be affected materially and adversely. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.

In December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on

various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments; the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Under current law, the United Kingdom will not impose withholding tax on payments made with respect to the securities.

For a discussion of German tax considerations relating to the securities, you should refer to the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders.”

We do not provide any advice on tax matters. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

The following examples show how the securities would perform in hypothetical circumstances. These examples highlight the behavior of the securities in different circumstances, but they are not indicative of actual results. The figures in these examples have been rounded for convenience. For ease of presentation, in these examples we have assumed a common crude oil index for both the Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Long ETNs. The actual crude oil index for the Short ETNs will be the DB benchmark crude oil index and for the Crude Oil Long ETNs it will be the DB optimum yield crude oil index. See “Risk Factors – The Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Long ETNs are linked to different crude oil indices” for more information.

How the monthly performance of your securities affects the current principal amount

If, over the hypothetical calendar month, the crude oil index increases to 125 and the TBill index increases to 100.2 on the monthly valuation date, the current principal amount would be reset for the following calendar month as follows:

Using the assumed day count fraction above, the fee factor for all of the following examples would equal:

For the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, the index factor would be calculated as follows:

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index increased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs decreased by twice the monthly increase in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude oil Short ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index increased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Short ETNs decreased by the monthly increase in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude Oil Long ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index increased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Long ETNs increased by the monthly increase in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

If, over the hypothetical calendar month, the crude oil index decreases to 75 and the TBill index increases to 100.2 on the monthly valuation date, the TBill index return would be the same as in example 1 and the crude oil index return would be calculated as follows:

Using these index returns, the current principal amount would be reset for the following calendar month for each of the three offerings as follows:

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index decreased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs increased by twice the monthly decrease in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude Oil Short ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index decreased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Short ETNs increased by the monthly decrease in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

Therefore, the new current principal amount for the Crude Oil Long ETNs would equal:

As such, in this example, because the crude oil index decreased over the calendar month, the current principal amount for the Crude Oil Long ETNs decreased by the monthly decrease in the crude oil index, subject to the addition of the increase in the TBill index and the deduction of the investor fee.

The following charts set out a range of hypothetical monthly performances of the relevant crude oil index and demonstrate how these impact the current principal amount for each of the three offerings (and ultimately the payment at maturity) and how the potential return on each of the three offerings relative to a hypothetical initial $25 investment will depend upon the historical levels of the current principal amount. The following charts are based on a hypothetical investment in the securities over a 12 month calendar period with a crude oil index monthly initial level of 100 on day one of the 12 month period and an assumed constant TBill index return of 0.002 per month. The fee factor is assumed to be 0.999375 (representing 0.75% per annum divided by 12 months). For ease of presentation, in these examples we have assumed a common crude oil index for both the Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Long ETNs. The actual crude oil index for the Short ETNs will be the DB benchmark crude oil index and for the Crude Oil Long ETNs it will be the DB optimum yield crude oil index. See “Risk Factors – The Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Long ETNs are linked to different crude oil indices” for more information. The following examples are hypothetical only and are not indicative of actual results. The actual term of the securities is approximately 30 years. Over the term of the securities, the crude oil index and the TBill index may display greater variability than is depicted in the hypothetical performance charts below. This potential greater variability increases the chance of adverse monthly performances negatively impacting the current principal amount of the securities. It is possible that you could lose your entire investment if your securities are exposed to severe or repeated adverse monthly performances.

In this example, the crude oil index increases at a constant rate of 2.5% of its initial value each month. As such, the Crude Oil Long ETNs demonstrate a positive return over the 12 month period and the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs and Crude Oil Short ETNs demonstrate a negative return over the 12 month period. This example demonstrates that because the index factors are assessed on monthly performances

(i.e. the change from the level at the start of the month to the level at the end of the month), the monthly crude oil index return decreases over time as 2.5% of the initial value of 100 becomes a smaller percentage increase over the crude oil index level at the start of each month. The example also demonstrates how the losses on the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs are significantly more than the losses on the Crude Oil Short ETNs, due to the effect of the leverage. However, because the current principal amount is reset each month, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs have not suffered a loss equal to two times the percentage increase in the crude oil index. This is because as the current principal amount is written down by adverse monthly performances, it decreases so that any successive adverse monthly performances (expressed as a percentage) are applied to a smaller amount, resulting in smaller dollar losses even if the adverse monthly performances are constant.

In this example, the crude oil index decreases at a constant rate of 2.5% of its initial value each month. As such, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs and Crude Oil Short ETNs demonstrate a positive return over the 12 month period and the Crude Oil Long ETNs demonstrate a negative return over the 12 month period. This example demonstrates that because the index factors are assessed on monthly performances (i.e. the change from the level at the start of the month to the level at the end of the month), the absolute value of the crude oil index return increases over time as 2.5% of the initial value of 100 becomes a larger percentage decrease from the crude oil index level at the start of each month.

Example 3 – The Crude Oil Index Increases Some Months and Decreases in Others; all securities demonstrate a negative return

In this example, the relevant crude oil index for each offering demonstrates both monthly increases and decreases over the 12 month period. Because the current principal amount is reset each month, these monthly increases and decreases affect the current principal amount in a different manner than if the current principal amount were adjusted by measuring the change in the crude oil index from its starting level of 100 to its ending level of 97. While this represents a 3% decrease in the value of the crude oil index over the 12 month period, all securities demonstrate a negative return on the $25 investment. For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, this is because the crude oil index had months of depreciation which decreased the current principal amount despite prior months of appreciation. Conversely, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs and Crude Oil Short ETNs have provided a negative return because the months of depreciation were insufficient to offset the prior months of appreciation in the crude oil index level. The Crude Oil Short ETNs displayed a smaller loss on the initial $25 investment than the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs because the lack of leverage meant that the Crude Oil Short ETNs lost less value than the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs in the months in which the crude oil index appreciated.

Example 4 – The Crude Oil Index Increases Some Months and Decreases in Others; all securities demonstrate a positive return

As in example 3, in this example, the crude oil index demonstrates both monthly increases and decreases over the 12 month period. While there was a marginal decrease in the value of the crude oil index over the 12 month period, both the long and short securities demonstrate a positive return on the $25 investment. For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, this is because the crude oil index had months of appreciation which increased the current principal amount despite subsequent months of depreciation and minimal appreciation. Conversely, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs and Crude Oil Short ETNs have provided a positive return because even though the crude oil index increased in certain months, the months of depreciation in the crude oil index level allowed the current principal amount to increase. The Crude Oil Short ETNs displayed a greater return on the initial $25 investment than the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs despite the lack of leverage because the Crude Oil Short ETNs lost less value than the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs in the months in which the crude oil index appreciated.

Example 5 – The Crude Oil Index Increases Some Months and Decreases in Others; the leveraged securities demonstrate a negative return

As in example 3 and example 4, in this example the crude oil index demonstrates both monthly increases and decreases over the 12 month period. In this example, the Crude Oil Long ETNs benefited from the increase in the last month, since the securities did not accelerate; however, they lost most of their value due to the significant decline in the crude oil index over the 12 month period. The example also demonstrates that despite the crude oil index generally trending down over the 12 month period, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs lost a considerable amount due to the marked increase in the crude oil index from month 2 to month 3 (75 to 110) and finished the 12 month period with a net loss as the subsequent beneficial monthly performances (i.e. declines in the crude oil index) were insufficient to restore that initial loss. In contrast, the Crude Oil Short ETNs demonstrated a positive return over the 12 month period as the lack of leverage meant that they did not suffer from the marked increase in the crude oil index to the same degree as the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs.

The following graphs set out the historical performance of the three securities being offered and, for each crude index, the combined performance of the crude index and the TBill index for the period from June 16, 2008, the inception date, to September 15, 2009.

Past performance of the crude oil indices and the TBill index is not indicative of future performance of any sub-index or your investment in the securities. The Crude Oil Double Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Short ETNs are not linked to the DB optimum yield crude oil index in any way, and the Crude Oil Long ETNs are not linked to the DB benchmark crude oil index in any way. The securities do not guarantee any return of, or on, your initial investment.

The graph below shows the historical and retrospective performance of each crude oil index, the TBill index and, for each crude oil index, the combined crude oil index and TBill index for the period commencing December 2, 1988 to September 15, 2009. It does not show the effect of the investor fee on the performance of these sub-indices or on their combined performance. Past performance of the crude oil indices and the TBill index is not indicative of future performance of any sub-index or your investment in the securities. Publication of the DB optimum yield crude oil index began on May 26, 2006, publication of the DB benchmark crude oil index began on March 11, 2004 and publication of the TBill index began on February 27, 2008. Any crude oil index or TBill index levels prior to those dates were retrospectively calculated. The securities do not guarantee any return of, or on, your initial investment.

RISK FACTORS

The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank, acting through its London branch. The securities are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and do not guarantee a return of principal or pay any interest. The return on the securities is linked to the monthly performance of the Index, subject to the investor fee. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in crude oil or 3-month Treasury bills.

This section describes the most significant risks relating to an investment in the securities. We urge you to read the following information about these risks, together with the other information in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement before investing in the securities.

The principal of your securities is not protected and you may lose all or a significant portion of your investment in the securities

The principal of your securities is not protected. Our cash payment, if any, on your securities on the maturity date or a repurchase date will be based on the month over month performance of the index factor prior to the maturity date or repurchase date, subject to the investor fee. You may lose all or a significant amount of your investment in the securities if there are repeated or severe adverse monthly performances in the Index.

The securities represent an investment in Deutsche Bank AG, not an investment in any underlying assets, and are therefore subject to the credit risk of Deutsche Bank AG

The securities are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, acting through its London branch. The securities are not an investment in any underlying assets and do not give rise to any claim in any underlying assets. Any payment on, and the value of, the securities is ultimately dependent upon the credit of Deutsche Bank AG, acting through its London branch. If Deutsche Bank AG were to become

unable to satisfy its obligations as they fall due, the value of the securities would be substantially impaired and you may not recover the then- current repurchase value of the securities or the value of your initial investment in the securities, regardless of the performance of the relevant crude oil index or the TBill index.

Even if the relevant crude oil index and TBill index at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank have moved beneficially relative to their levels at the time you purchased the securities, you may receive less than your initial investment in the securities

Because the return on your securities at maturity or upon repurchase is dependent upon the month over month performance of the Index prior to the maturity date or repurchase date, subject to the investor fee, even if the relevant crude oil index and the TBill index at maturity or upon repurchase have moved beneficially relative to their levels at the time you purchased the securities, there is no guarantee that you will receive a positive return on, or a full return of, your initial investment. The month over month performance of the sub-indices as reflected in the applicable index factor will need to offset the impact of the investor fee each month for the current principal amount to increase. Further, even if at maturity or upon a repurchase the relevant crude oil index and TBill index have moved beneficially relative to their levels at the time you purchased the securities, this may not be enough to offset prior months of adverse monthly performance which could have reduced the current principal amount below its value at the time you purchased the securities. Similarly, any beneficial movement of the sub-indices during a month will not be reflected in the current principal amount unless the beneficial movement applies at the end of the month (except to the extent that the repurchase value reflects intra-month beneficial movements in the applicable index factor).

The securities are not suitable for all investors. In particular, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs should be purchased only by investors who understand leverage risk and the consequences of seeking monthly

leveraged investment results, and who intend to actively monitor and manage their investments

The securities are not suitable for all investors. In particular, the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs entail leverage risk and should be purchased only by investors who understand leverage risk and the consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to a direct investment in the Index, the crude oil indices or the TBill index because the current principal amount is reset each month, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The current 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.

If you invest in the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, any adverse monthly performance will be leveraged, meaning you will lose an amount from your current principal amount at a rate of 2% for every 1% of adverse performance of the relevant crude oil index (subject to any positive return on the TBill index and the application of the fee factor)

If you invest in the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, you are exposed to the risk that adverse monthly performances of the relevant crude oil index will be leveraged. This means that if the relevant crude oil index experiences an adverse monthly performance, your current principal amount will be reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% of adverse performance, subject to any positive return on the TBill index and the application of the fee factor. While the monthly reset of the current principal amount is designed to reduce the effect of the leverage on any adverse performance over time, it does not mitigate the effect of the leverage on any single month’s adverse performance.

If the current principal amount increases, any subsequent adverse monthly performance will result in a larger dollar reduction from the current principal amount than if the current principal amount remained constant

If the current principal amount increases, the dollar amount which you can lose in any single month from an adverse monthly performance will increase correspondingly so that the dollar amount lost will be greater than if the current principal amount were maintained at a constant level. This means that if you invest in the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, you could lose more than 2% of your initial investment for each 1% of adverse monthly performance of the relevant crude oil index. Similarly, if you invest in the Crude Oil Short ETNs or Crude Oil Long ETNs, you could lose more than 1% of your initial investment for each 1% of adverse monthly performance.

If the current principal amount decreases, any subsequent beneficial monthly performance will result in a smaller dollar increase on the current principal amount than if the current principal amount remained constant

If the current principal amount decreases, the dollar amount which you can gain in any single month from a beneficial monthly performance will decrease correspondingly. This is because the applicable index factor will be applied to a smaller current principal amount. As such, the dollar amount which you can gain from any beneficial monthly performance will be less than if the current principal amount were maintained at a constant level. This means that if the current principal amount decreases, it will take larger beneficial monthly performances to restore the value of your investment back to the amount of your initial investment than would have been the case if the current principal amount were maintained at a constant level. Further, if you invest in the Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, you could gain less than 2% of your initial investment for each 1% of beneficial monthly performance.

It is possible that your securities will be accelerated due to a zero repurchase value

and your investment will be lost before the scheduled maturity of the securities

Because the current principal amount is reset each month, adverse monthly performances will be reflected in the current principal amount each month rather than only upon repurchase or at maturity. If there are severe or repeated adverse monthly performances during the term of the securities, the repurchase value on any trading day could be reduced to zero. If this occurs, the securities will automatically accelerate for an amount equal to the zero repurchase value and you will not receive any return of your investment.

Your securities will be accelerated if a regulatory event has occurred which the calculation agent determines is materially interfering with our ability to effectively hedge our exposure under the securities

We have the right to accelerate the securities for the then current repurchase value if a regulatory event has occurred which the calculation agent determines is materially interfering with our ability to effectively hedge our exposure under the securities. The type of regulatory event that may trigger this acceleration includes, but is not limited to, a change of law or rules, or administrative action applying or interpreting those laws or rules, either of the United States, any jurisdiction in which a relevant exchange is located (as defined below) or of a commodities exchange or market (including those within and outside of the United States), which interferes with our ability to hedge our exposure under the securities. Actions such as the refusal of an exchange or a government regulatory agency to allow Deutsche Bank to transact in commodity futures contracts consistent with current practice or the imposition of position limits on Deutsche Bank’s trading activities could trigger a regulatory event and potentially an acceleration of the securities. If we accelerate the securities, you will only receive the repurchase value and will not receive any other compensation or amount for the loss of the investment opportunity of holding the securities.

There are restrictions on the minimum number of securities you may offer to Deutsche Bank for repurchase

You must offer at least 200,000 securities from a single offering to Deutsche Bank for repurchase

at one time on any repurchase date and multiples of 50,000 securities in excess thereof. The minimum repurchase amount of 200,000 securities and the procedures involved in the offer of any repurchase represent substantial restrictions on your ability to cause Deutsche Bank to repurchase your securities. For the purpose of satisfying the minimum repurchase amount, you cannot combine securities from separate offerings. See “Specific Terms of the Securities – Repurchase Procedures” for more information.

If you wish to offer more than 200,000 securities for repurchase by Deutsche Bank, you must do so in increments of 50,000 securities. For example, if you hold 273,000 securities from one offering, you may offer 200,000 or 250,000 securities for repurchase. However, you may not individually offer the entire amount of your holdings because 273,000 is not an integral multiple of 50,000. If you choose to offer 200,000 or 250,000 securities for repurchase, you will not be able to offer your remaining securities, 73,000 securities in the prior case or 23,000 securities in the latter case, for repurchase.

The daily repurchase feature is intended to induce arbitrageurs to counteract any trading of the securities at a premium or discount to their indicative value. There can be no assurance that arbitrageurs will employ the repurchase feature in this manner.

A fee of up to $0.03 per security may be charged upon a repurchase

DBSI may charge a fee of up to $0.03 per security upon any repurchase. The imposition of this fee will mean that you will not receive the full amount of the repurchase value upon a repurchase.

You may not be able to offer your securities for repurchase because there may be less than 200,000 securities outstanding at any time

At least 200,000 securities are required to make an offer to us for the repurchase of securities. Accordingly, if less than 200,000 securities of an offering are outstanding, you will not be able to avail yourself of the repurchase mechanic.

Further, even if more than 200,000 securities of a particular offering have been issued, the number of securities outstanding at any one time may be less than 200,000 due to prior repurchases by us of securities.

The market value of the securities may be influenced by many unpredictable factors

The market value of your securities may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the applicable valuation date or the final valuation date. You may also sustain a significant loss if you sell the securities in the secondary market. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of the securities. We expect that generally the level of the sub-indices will affect the market value of the securities more than any other factor. Other factors that may influence the market value of the securities include:

•

the level of the relevant crude oil index, which will in turn be affected by interest rates; domestic and foreign economic and political conditions generally; monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board; inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and the crude oil markets (in particular, the market for futures contracts on crude oil), which may fluctuate rapidly based on numerous factors including changes in supply and demand relationships, weather, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, and geopolitical and economic events, including wars, acts of terrorism and natural disasters;

•

the level of the TBill index, which will in turn be affected by, among other things, government fiscal policy and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board; inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and supply and demand for Treasury bills;

•

the volatility of crude oil;

•

the time remaining to the maturity of the securities;

•

supply and demand for the securities, including inventory positions with any market maker;

•

economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the levels of the sub-indices;

•

the prevailing rate of interest; and

•

our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

These factors interrelate in complex ways, and the effect of one factor on the market value of your securities may offset or enhance the effect of another factor.

The price of crude oil reflected in the crude oil indices is affected by numerous factors

Changes in supply and demand can have significant adverse effects on the price of crude oil. In addition, crude oil tends to be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, volatility from speculative activities and the risk that substitutes for oil in its common uses will become more widely available or comparatively less expensive.

Demand for refined petroleum products by consumers, as well as the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil’s end–use as a refined product is often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in–home heating fuel. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is also influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are affected by political events, labor activity and, in particular, direct government intervention (such as embargos) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors. These include production decisions by the Organization of Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countries and other crude oil producers. In the event of sudden disruptions in the supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and unpredictable.

Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for example, upon a cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities. West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil is also subject to the risk that it has demonstrated a lack of correlation with world crude oil prices due to structural differences between the U.S. market for crude oil and the international market for crude oil. We can give no assurance that the settlement price for West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil will not be more volatile than world crude oil prices generally.

The price of crude oil reflected in the crude oil indices is subject to emerging markets’ political and economic risks

Crude oil may be produced in emerging market countries which are more exposed to the risk of swift political change and economic downturns than their industrialized counterparts. Indeed, in recent years, many emerging market countries have undergone significant political, economic and social change. In many cases, far-reaching political changes have resulted in constitutional and social tensions, and, in some cases, instability and reaction against market reforms has occurred. There can be no assurance that future political changes will not adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market country. Political or economic instability may significantly impact the level of the crude oil indices and, consequently, adversely affect the return on your investment.

The effects of any future regulatory change on the value of the securities is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the interests of holders of the securities

Futures contracts and options on futures contracts markets, including those future contracts related to the commodity included in the crude oil indices, are subject to extensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. The CFTC and the exchanges on which such futures contracts trade are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market

emergency, including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily limits and the suspension of trading. Furthermore, certain exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuations in futures contract prices which may occur during a single five minute trading period. These limits could adversely affect the market prices of relevant futures contracts and forward contracts. The regulation of commodity transactions in the U.S. is subject to ongoing modification by government and judicial action. In addition, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodity markets and the need to regulate the derivative markets in general. The effects of any future regulatory change on the value of the securities is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse to the interests of holders of the securities.

For example, the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate have considered legislation intended to decrease speculation and increase transparency in the commodities markets. If enacted such legislation may, among other things, require the CFTC to adopt rules to implement position limits on certain positions in commodity futures contracts.

We or our affiliates may be unable as a result of such restrictions to effect transactions necessary to hedge our obligations under the securities, in which case we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your securities. If the payment on your securities is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. See “Specific Terms of the Securities – Acceleration Upon a Regulatory Event” in this pricing supplement for more information.

The historical levels of the sub-indices should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Index during the term of the securities

The actual performance of the sub-indices over each month during the term of the securities, as

well as the amount payable at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank, may bear little relation to the historical and retrospective calculations of the sub-indices. Publication of the DB optimum yield crude oil index began on May 26, 2006 with a base date of December 1, 1988, publication of the DB benchmark crude oil index began on March 11, 2004 with a base date of December 1, 1988 and publication of the TBill index began on February 27, 2008 with a base date of November 22, 1998. Therefore all three sub-indices have very limited actual performance history. Any levels for a sub-index corresponding to dates prior to the date it commenced publishing were retrospectively calculated.

The Short ETNs and the Crude Oil Long ETNs are linked to different crude oil indices

The Short ETNs are linked to the DB benchmark crude oil index. The Crude Oil Long ETNs are linked to the DB optimum yield crude oil index. These indices are identical apart from the methodology used for replacing underlying futures contracts that are near expiration. This difference is described more fully below under “The Indices.” Despite their similarity, the two crude oil indices are independent and a beneficial movement in one does not imply a beneficial movement in the other.

The index sponsor may adjust the sub-indices in ways that affect the level of the sub-indices, and the index sponsor has no obligation to consider your interests

Deutsche Bank, as index sponsor of each sub-index, determines the composition of the sub-indices and can add to, delete or substitute the components currently comprising the sub-indices or make other changes that could change the levels of the sub-indices. Additionally, the index sponsor may alter, discontinue or suspend a sub-index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. The index sponsor has no obligation to consider your interests in revising a sub-index.

Your return will not reflect the return on a direct investment in crude oil

The return on your securities will not match the return you would have received had you

invested directly in crude oil. In particular, an investment in the securities is subject to the investor fee which reduces the amount of your return at maturity or upon repurchase of the securities by Deutsche Bank and the monthly reset of the current principal amount.

The securities may not be a suitable investment for you

The securities may not be a suitable investment for you if you are not willing to be exposed to fluctuations in the levels of the sub-indices; you seek a guaranteed return of principal; you believe the applicable index factor will perform adversely or insufficiently beneficially to offset the impact of the investor fee during the term of the securities; you seek an investment which measures the simple performance of crude oil over a period equivalent to the term of the securities, rather than its month-over-month performance; you prefer the lower risk and therefore accept the potentially lower but more predictable returns of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings; or you seek current income from your investment.

Changes in our credit ratings may affect the market value of your securities

Our credit ratings are an assessment of our ability to pay our obligations, including those on the securities. Consequently, actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings may affect the market value of your securities. However, because the return on your securities is dependent upon certain factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations on your securities, an improvement in our credit ratings will not reduce the other investment risks related to your securities or increase the market value of your securities.

You will not receive interest payments on the securities or have rights in the sub-index components

You will not receive any periodic interest payments on the securities. As an owner of the securities, you will not have rights that investors in crude oil futures contracts or TBill index may have. You will receive cash for your securities, if any, and you will have no right to receive delivery of crude oil.

There may not be an active trading market in the securities; sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses

Although the securities are listed on NYSE Arca, there may not be an active trading market for your securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not be liquid and may not continue for the term of the securities. No assurances can be given as to the continuation of any listing during the term of the securities. We are not required to maintain any listing of the securities on NYSE Arca or any other exchange and we may elect to terminate any such listing at our discretion.

The Optimum Yield methodology of the DB optimum yield crude oil index may not succeed in reducing negative roll yield, which would decrease the return on the Crude Oil Long ETNs

The Optimum Yield methodology of the DB optimum yield crude oil index attempts to maximize positive roll yield and minimize negative roll yield resulting from the forward price curves for crude oil futures contracts. To extent that it fails to minimize any negative roll yield, the level of the DB optimum yield crude oil index could be negatively affected and the index factor applicable to the Crude Oil Long ETNs could be decreased, reducing your return.

Roll yield refers to the yield which is realized as a futures contract which about to expire (i.e., it requires physical delivery of the commodity in the next month) is replaced by a futures contract with a longer term expiration (i.e., it requires physical delivery in a later month). If the forward price curve is in “backwardation,” the prices of contracts with shorter-term expirations will be higher than for contracts with longer-term expirations. In these circumstances, absent other factors, the sale of an existing contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price at which the new contract is purchased, thereby creating a positive “roll yield.” The converse of backwardation is “contango” and exists where the prices are lower for contracts with shorter-term expirations than for contracts with longer-term expirations. In these circumstances, absent other factors, the sale of the existing contract would take place at

a price that is lower than the price at which the new contract is purchased, thereby creating negative “roll yield.”

While crude oil has historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will likely not exist in these markets at all times and the current and continued presence of backwardated markets for crude oil is not assured or certain. Negative roll yield would have an adverse impact on the level of the DB optimum yield crude oil index and the DB optimum yield crude oil index uses the Optimum Yield methodology which attempts to minimize negative roll yields and maximize positive roll yields. To the extent that the Optimum Yield rolling methodology fails to effectively minimize contango and maximize backwardation, the level of the DB optimum yield crude oil index will be negatively affected. This, in turn, would have an adverse effect on the index factor of the Crude Oil Long ETNs, thereby reducing your return.

The Short ETNs may suffer from positive roll yield resulting from a backwardated forward curve and, unlike the Crude Oil Long ETNs, do not benefit from any methodology designed to address this

Unlike the Crude Oil Long ETNs, the DB benchmark crude oil index is not designed to maximize or minimize roll yield, but rather rolls the underlying contracts based on the pre-determined schedule irrespective of the resulting roll yield. As such, the methodology of this index does not contain a strategy which, if successful, would result in a benefit to holders of the Short ETNs. The forward curve for crude oil has historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, which typically results in positive roll yield. Any positive roll yield would increase the level of the DB benchmark crude oil index. This, in turn, would decrease the index factor for the Short ETNs, thereby reducing your return.

Suspension or disruptions of market trading in crude oil and related futures may adversely affect the value of your securities

Commodity futures markets, such as the markets on which the futures contracts underlying the crude oil indices are traded, are

subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, and government regulation and intervention. In addition, U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in some futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or prices. These circumstances could affect the value of the crude oil indices and therefore could adversely affect the value of your securities.

Concentration risks associated with the Index may adversely affect the value of your securities

The crude oil indices are comprised of futures contracts on crude oil and are less diversified than other funds, investment portfolios or indices investing in or tracking a broader range of products and, therefore, could experience greater volatility. You should be aware that other commodities indices may be more diversified than the crude oil indices in terms of both the number and variety of futures contracts on commodities. Because your investment in the securities is concentrated in only one underlying commodity, you will not benefit, with respect to the securities, from any of the advantages of a diversified investment and will bear the risks of a concentrated investment.

Trading by Deutsche Bank and other transactions by Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates in instruments linked to the sub-indices or index components may impair the market value of the securities

As described below under “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in this pricing supplement, we have entered into and expect to continue to enter into

transactions to hedge our obligations under the securities. Such transactions may involve purchases of the futures contracts underlying a crude oil index, options on a crude oil index, or other derivative instruments with returns linked to the performance of the sub-indices or their components and we may adjust our hedge positions by, among other things, purchasing or selling any of the foregoing. Although they are not intended to, any of these hedging activities may affect the market price of the futures contracts underlying a crude oil index and the levels of the sub-indices and, therefore, the market value of the securities. It is possible that our hedging activities could produce substantial returns for us even though the market value of the securities declines.

We may also issue other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of any of the foregoing. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we could adversely affect the market value of the securities.

With respect to any of the activities described above, we have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the securities into consideration at any time.

The liquidity of the market for the securities may vary materially over time

As of September 29, 2009, there were approximately 1,500,000 Crude Oil Double Short ETNs, 500,000 Crude Oil Short ETNs and 1,100,000 Crude Oil Long ETNs outstanding. Additional securities will be offered and sold from time to time through DBSI, acting as our agent. Also, the number of securities outstanding could be reduced at any time due to repurchases of the securities by Deutsche Bank as described in this pricing supplement. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the securities could vary materially over the term of the securities. While you may elect to offer your securities for repurchase by Deutsche Bank prior to maturity, such repurchase is subject to the restrictive conditions and procedures described elsewhere in this pricing supplement, including the condition that you must offer at least 200,000 securities per offering or an

integral multiple of 50,000 securities in excess thereof to Deutsche Bank at one time for repurchase on any repurchase date.

We or our affiliates may have economic interests adverse to those of the holders of the securities

Deutsche Bank and other affiliates of ours have engaged in and expect to engage in trading activities related to crude oil futures, options on crude oil futures, or other derivative instruments with returns linked to the performance of crude oil futures indices, for their accounts and for other accounts under their management. Deutsche Bank and these affiliates may also issue or underwrite or assist unaffiliated entities in the issuance or underwriting of other securities or financial instruments linked to the sub-indices. To the extent that we or one of our affiliates serves as issuer, agent or underwriter for such securities or financial instruments, our or their interests with respect to such products may be adverse to those of the holders of the securities. Any of these trading activities could potentially affect the levels of the crude oil indices and, accordingly, could affect the value of the securities and the amount payable to you at maturity.

We or one of our affiliates may serve as issuer, agent or underwriter for additional issuances of securities with returns linked or related to changes in the levels of the sub-indices or crude oil futures. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the securities.

The business activities of DBSI may create conflicts of interest

DBSI and its affiliates have engaged in and expect to engage in trading activities related to the components of the crude oil indices, futures or options on the components of the crude oil indices, or other derivative instruments with returns linked to the performance of the components of the crude oil indices or the sub-indices that are not for the account of holders of the securities or on their behalf. These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the securities

and the interests that DBSI and its affiliates will have in their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including futures, options and other derivatives transactions, for their customers and in accounts under their management. These trading activities, if they influence the levels of the sub-indices, could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the securities. Moreover, DBSI has published and in the future expects to publish research reports and trading advice with respect to some or all of the components of the sub-indices. This research and trading advice is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. The research and trading advice should not be viewed as a recommendation or endorsement of the securities in any way and investors must make their own independent investigation of the merits of this investment. Any of these activities by DBSI or its affiliates may affect the market price of the components of the crude oil indices and the levels of the sub-indices and, therefore, the market value of the securities. With respect to any of the activities described above, neither DBSI nor its affiliates have any obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the securities into consideration at any time.

The index sponsor may discontinue the sub-indices and public disclosure of information relating to a sub-index may change over time

The index sponsor is under no obligation to continue to compile and publish the sub-indices and is not required to compile and publish any successor index if any sub-index is discontinued. If the index sponsor discontinues or suspends the compilation or publication of a sub-index, it may become difficult to determine the current principal amount, the market value of the securities or the amount payable at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank. Initially, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will serve as the calculation agent for the securities (the “calculation agent”). In the event the index sponsor discontinues or suspends the compilation or publication of a sub-index, the calculation agent may designate a successor index selected in its sole discretion (which may, but need not be, an index calculated and

maintained by Deutsche Bank). If the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that no successor index comparable to the discontinued sub-index exists, the amount you receive at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank will be determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion. See “Specific Terms of the Securities – Discontinuance or Modification of the Index” in this pricing supplement.

The policies of the index sponsor and any changes thereto that affect the composition and valuation of a sub-index could affect the amount payable on your securities and their market value

The policies of the index sponsor concerning the calculation of the level of a sub-index, additions, deletions or substitutions of the components in the sub-indices and the manner in which changes affecting a sub-index are reflected could affect the level of such sub-index and, therefore, the current principal amount, the amount payable on your securities at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank and the market value of your securities prior to maturity.

Additional index components may satisfy the eligibility criteria for inclusion in any sub-index and the index component currently included in a crude oil index may fail to satisfy such criteria. In addition, the index sponsor may modify the methodology for determining the composition and weighting (if any) of a sub-index, or for calculating the level of a sub-index. The index sponsor may also discontinue or suspend compilation or publication of a sub-index, in which case it may become difficult to determine the market value of such sub-index. Any such changes could adversely affect the value of your securities.

If events such as these occur, or if the level of a sub-index is not available or cannot be calculated because of a market disruption event or for any other reason, the calculation agent may be required to make a good faith estimate in its sole discretion of the level of such sub-index. The circumstances in which the calculation agent will be required to make such a determination are described more fully under “Specific Terms of the Securities – Discontinuance or Modification of the Index” and “– Role of Calculation Agent.”

There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent

We will serve as the calculation agent. The calculation agent will, among other things, decide the amount of the return paid out to you on the securities at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank. For a more detailed description of the calculation agent’s role, see “Specific Terms of the Securities – Role of Calculation Agent” in this pricing supplement.

If the index sponsor were to discontinue or suspend compilation, calculation or publication of either crude oil index and the index sponsor were not to appoint another entity to calculate and publish such crude oil index, it may become difficult to determine the level of such crude oil index. If events such as these occur, or if the level of a sub-index is not available or cannot be calculated because of a market disruption event or for any other reason, the calculation agent may be required to make a good faith estimate in its sole discretion of the level of such sub-index. The circumstances in which the calculation agent will be required to make such a determination are described more fully under “Specific Terms of the Securities – Role of Calculation Agent” in this pricing supplement. The calculation agent will also be required to determine whether a regulatory event has occurred which gives rise to our right to accelerate the securities.

The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting a crude oil index has occurred or is continuing on a valuation date, including the final valuation date. This determination may, in turn, depend on the calculation agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability to unwind our hedge positions. Since these determinations by the calculation agent may affect the market value of the securities, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make any such decision.

If a market disruption event has occurred or exists on a valuation date or the final valuation date, the calculation agent can postpone the determination of the index

factor for each offering of securities, the maturity date or a repurchase date

The determination of the index factor for each offering of securities on a monthly valuation date, valuation date or final valuation date, may be postponed if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on such valuation date. In case of such postponement, the corresponding repurchase date or the maturity date could be postponed accordingly.

If postponement of the determination of an index factor for a valuation date or the final valuation date, due to a market disruption event occurs, such postponement will continue until the next trading day on which there is no market disruption, up to ten scheduled trading days. If a market disruption event causes the postponement of the determination of an index factor for a valuation date or the final valuation date for more than ten scheduled trading days, the level of the relevant sub-index for the relevant repurchase date or the maturity date, as applicable, will be determined (or, if not determinable, estimated) by the calculation agent in a manner which it considers commercially reasonable under the circumstances. See “Specific Terms of the Securities – Market Disruption Events.”

The U.S. tax consequences of an investment in a Security are unclear

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment described herein. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities could be affected materially and adversely. Furthermore, as described in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” in December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the securities. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should review carefully the section of this pricing supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

THE INDICES

The return on the securities is linked to the performance of a total return version of a crude oil-linked index (the “Index”). For the Short ETNs, the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^™, and the performance of the Index is obtained by combining the returns on two component indices: the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (“TBill index”) and the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Light Crude^™ Excess Return (“DB benchmark crude oil index”). For the Crude Oil Long ETNs, the Index is a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index– Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™, and the performance of the Index is obtained by combining the returns on two component indices: the TBill index and the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™ Excess Return (“DB optimum yield crude oil index” and, together with the DB benchmark crude oil index, the “crude oil indices”).

The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity

Index Light Crude™ Excess Return

The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity

Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil™ Excess Return

The DB benchmark crude oil index and DB optimum yield crude oil index differ only in their “roll methodology,” as described further below. All other aspects of the following description apply to both crude oil indices. Both of the crude oil indices are intended to reflect the performance of a single crude oil futures contract (the “underlying futures contract”). Both of the crude oil indices measure the value of crude oil by tracking the closing prices of certain exchange traded contracts for the future delivery of sweet light crude oil. The commodity included in each crude oil index is West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil (“crude oil”).

Because each crude oil index measures the value of crude oil by tracking the prices of the underlying futures contract, the crude oil index methodology includes provisions that provide for the periodic replacement of the underlying futures contract as it approaches maturity. This replacement takes place over a period of time,

referred to as the “recomposition period,” to lessen the impact of such replacement on the crude oil futures market. Recomposition of each commodity index occurs monthly and the recomposition period normally lasts for a number of index business days (as defined below). In addition, each crude oil index is rebalanced annually on or around the 6^th index business day of November.

Each crude oil index is calculated on an excess return, or unfunded, basis. The DB benchmark crude oil index has been calculated back to a base date of December 1, 1988. On the base date the closing level of the DB benchmark crude oil index was 100. The DB optimum yield crude oil index has been calculated back to a base date of December 1, 1988. On the base date the closing level of the DB optimum yield crude oil index was 100.

Methodology

Roll methodology for the DB optimum yield crude oil index

The DB optimum yield crude oil index uses a rules-based approach, which we refer to as the “optimum yield” approach, to replace, or roll, the underlying futures contract as it approaches maturity with a futures contract having a later maturity date. This replacement takes place over a period of time in order to lessen the impact on the crude oil futures market. Rather than select a new futures contract based on a predetermined schedule (e.g., monthly), the DB optimum yield crude oil index rolls to the eligible crude oil futures contract which generates the best possible implied roll yield. In general, as a futures contract approaches its expiration date, its price moves towards the spot price. In a contangoed market, assuming the spot price does not change, this results in the futures contract price decreasing and a negative implied roll yield. The opposite is true in a backwardated market. The DB optimum yield crude oil index seeks to maximize the roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimize the losses from rolling in contangoed markets.

On the first New York business day of each month (a “verification date”), the underlying futures contract is tested in order to determine whether to continue including it in the DB

optimum yield crude oil index. If the underlying futures contract requires delivery in the next month (the “delivery month”), a new crude oil futures contract is selected for inclusion in the DB optimum yield crude oil index. For example, if the first New York business day of the month is November 1, 2009, and the delivery month of the current underlying futures contract is December 2009, a new crude oil futures contract with a later delivery month will be selected to replace the current contract.

The new futures contract selected will be the crude oil futures contract which has the best possible implied roll yield based on the closing price for each eligible futures contract. Eligible futures contracts are those futures contracts having a delivery month (i) no sooner than the month after the delivery month of the futures contract being replaced, and (ii) no later than the 13^th month after the verification date. For example, if the first New York business day of the month is November 1, 2009 and the delivery month of the current underlying futures contract is December 2009, the delivery month of an eligible new futures contract must be between January 2010 and January 2011. The implied roll yield of each eligible futures contract is calculated and the futures contract with the best possible implied roll yield is selected. If two futures contracts have the same implied roll yield, the futures contract with the minimum number of months prior to the delivery month is selected.

After the new futures contract is selected, the old futures contract is unwound and a position is established in the new futures contract. Such recomposition occurs over a period spanning from the 2^nd to the 6^th index business day of the month (the “recomposition period”).

Roll methodology for the DB benchmark crude oil index

The DB benchmark crude oil index does not use the “optimum yield” approach described above. Instead, it replaces, or rolls, the underlying futures contract as it approaches maturity with a crude oil futures contract having a later maturity date based upon a pre-determined schedule. This replacement takes place over a period of time in order to lessen the impact on the crude oil futures market.

On the first New York business day of each month (a “verification date”), the underlying futures contract is tested in order to determine whether to continue including it in the DB benchmark crude oil index. If the underlying futures contract requires delivery in the next month (the “delivery month”), a new crude oil futures contract is selected for inclusion in the DB benchmark crude oil index. For example, if the first New York business day of the month is November 1, 2009, and the delivery month of the current underlying futures contract is December 2009, a new crude oil futures contract with a later delivery month will be selected to replace the current contract.

The DB benchmark crude oil index replaces the underlying futures contract with a crude oil futures contract that has an expiration date two months after the month in which the recomposition takes place.

After the new futures contract is selected, the old futures contract is unwound and a position is established in the new futures contract. Such recomposition occurs over the recomposition period.

Calculation of the closing level

The closing level of each crude oil index on any index business day is based on the closing price of the underlying futures contract for such index business day, rounded to six decimal places.

The closing price of the underlying futures contract on any index business day will be its price at the regular close of the principal trading session on such day on the New York Mercantile Exchange or its successor (“NYMEX”), expressed in U.S. dollars per barrel of crude oil, as published by NYMEX for that index business day or, if in the determination of the index sponsor a price is not available on such index business day, the price as published by NYMEX for the immediately preceding index business day for which a price is available.

The index sponsor will adjust the closing price for the relevant underlying futures contract to reflect any corrections to such closing price that have been published by the relevant exchange prior to 11:00 p.m. (London time) on the trading day immediately following the trading day to

which the closing price relates, or, if the publication time of any such closing price is amended by the relevant exchange, such other time as the index sponsor may determine and publish as a replacement for 11:00 p.m. (London time).

Instrument amount

The instrument amount of each underlying futures contract on any index business day that does not fall within a recomposition period will be equal to the instrument amount for such underlying futures contract on the previous index business day. Outside of recomposition periods, the underlying futures contract will have an instrument amount of 100%.

Determining the instrument amount during a recomposition period

During a recomposition period, each crude oil index will reflect any underlying futures contract being replaced as well as any underlying futures contract that is replacing it, so that each crude oil index will reflect two underlying futures contracts. The instrument amount of the old futures contract is gradually reduced over the recomposition period and the instrument amount of the new futures contract is gradually increased so that, throughout the period, the sum of the instrument amounts for the two futures contracts is equal to the instrument amount of the old futures contract on the day prior to the start of the recomposition period.

“Index business day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in New York City and London, United Kingdom.

Changes in the methodologies of the crude oil indices

The index sponsor employs the methodologies described above and its application of such methodologies shall be conclusive and binding. While the index sponsor currently employs the above described methodologies to calculate the crude oil indices, no assurance can be given

that fiscal, market, regulatory, juridical or financial circumstances (including, but not limited to, any changes to or any suspension or termination of or any other events affecting an underlying commodity or an underlying futures contract) will not arise that would, in the view of the index sponsor, necessitate a modification of or change to such methodologies and in such circumstances the index sponsor may make any such modification or change as it determines appropriate. The index sponsor may also make modifications to the terms of either crude oil index in any manner that it may deem necessary or desirable, including (without limitation) to correct any manifest or proven error or to cure, correct or supplement any defective provision of either crude oil index. The index sponsor will publish notice of any such modification or change and the effective date thereof as set forth below.

Publication of closing levels and adjustments

In order to calculate the level of the underlying, the index sponsor polls Reuters every 15 seconds to determine the real time price of the underlying futures contracts. The index sponsor then applies a set of rules to this value to create the indicative levels of the crude oil indices. These rules are consistent with the rules which the index sponsor applies at the end of each trading day to calculate the closing levels of the crude oil indices.

The index sponsor publishes the closing levels of the crude oil indices daily.

The most recent end-of-day closing levels of the crude oil indices are published under their own symbols as of the close of business for the relevant exchanges each trading day on the consolidated tape, Reuters and/or Bloomberg.

Interruption of index calculation

Force majeure event

Calculation of a crude oil index may not be possible or feasible under certain events or circumstances, including, without limitation, a systems failure, natural or man-made disaster, act of God, armed conflict, act of terrorism, riot or labor disruption or any similar intervening

circumstance, that is beyond the reasonable control of the index sponsor and that the index sponsor determines affects the crude oil index. Upon the occurrence of any such force majeure event, the index sponsor may, in its discretion, elect one (or more) of the following options:

•

make such determinations and/or adjustments to the terms of the crude oil index as it considers appropriate to determine any closing level on any such appropriate index business day; and/or

•

defer publication of the information relating to the crude oil index until the next index business day on which it determines that no force majeure event exists; and/or

•

permanently cancel publication of the information relating to the crude oil index.

Index disruption event

Additionally, calculation of a crude oil index may be disrupted by an event that would require the index sponsor to calculate the closing price in respect of the underlying futures contract on an alternative basis were such event to occur or exist on a day that is a trading day for the underlying futures contract on the relevant exchange. If such an index disruption event in relation to an underlying futures contract as described in the prior sentence occurs and continues for a period of five successive trading days on the relevant exchange, the index sponsor will, in its discretion, either

•

continue to calculate the relevant closing price for a further period of five successive trading days on the relevant exchange, or

•

if such period extends beyond the five successive trading days, the index sponsor may elect to replace the affected underlying futures contract and make all necessary adjustments to the methodology and calculation of the crude oil index as it deems appropriate.

Additionally, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as calculation agent for the securities, has discretion to determine the value of a crude oil index in the event of disruptions occurring with regard to the futures contracts underlying

such crude oil index. See “Specific Terms of the Securities – Market Disruption Events”.

DBLCI™, Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Crude Oil^™, Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Light Crude^™ and Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index™ are trade marks of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, the index sponsor. Any use of these marks must be with the consent of or under license from the index sponsor.

The DB 3-Month T-Bill Index

The TBill index is intended to approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling basis.

On any index business day, the closing level of TBill index is equal to the TBill index closing level on the index business day immediately preceding such index business day multiplied by the product of (i) the sum of (a) one and (b) the T-bill accrual factor for such index business day and (ii) the sum of (a) one and (b) the T-bill accrual factor for such index business day raised to the power of the number of days which are not index business days during the period from (but excluding) the index business day immediately preceding such index business day to (but excluding) such index business day. Expressed as a formula, the closing level of the TBill index is equal to:

TR_d-1 * (1+TBAF_d)*(1+TBAF_d)ⁿ

Where:

“d” is the relevant index business day;

“d-1” is the index business day immediately preceding the relevant index business day;

“TBAF_d” is the T-bill accrual factor for the relevant index business day; and

“n” is the number of days that are not index business days during the period from (but excluding) the index business day immediately preceding the relevant index business day to (but excluding) the relevant index business day.

VALUATION OF THE SECURITIES

The market value of the securities will be affected by several factors, many of which are beyond our control. We expect that generally the level of the Index and the spot and future prices of crude oil on any day will affect the market value of the securities more than any other factor. Other factors that may influence the market value of the securities include, but are not limited to, supply and demand for the securities, the volatility of the sub-indices, prevailing interest rates, the volatility of securities markets, economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the level of the sub-indices, the general interest rate environment, as well as the perceived creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank. See “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for a discussion of the factors that may influence the market value of the securities prior to maturity.

Indicative Value

An intraday “indicative value” meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of each of the offerings of the securities will be published every 15 seconds on the following Bloomberg pages:

•

Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: “DTOIV”

•

Crude Oil Short ETNs: “SZOIV”

•

Crude Oil Long ETNs: “OLOIV”

The actual trading prices of the securities may vary significantly from their indicative values.

Additionally, the calculation agent will publish the daily repurchase value for each offering of securities on the following Bloomberg pages:

•

Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: “DTORP”

•

Crude Oil Short ETNs: “SZORP”

•

Crude Oil Long ETNs: “OLORP”

In connection with your securities, we use the term “indicative value” to refer to the value at a given time based on the following equation:

Indicative value = current principal amount per security × applicable index factor × applicable fee factor

where:


Current principal amount	=	the current principal amount as reset on each monthly reset date
Applicable index factor	=	the applicable index factor with respect to your securities; and
Applicable fee factor	=	the most recent daily calculation of the fee factor with respect to your securities.

The indicative value calculation will be provided for reference purposes only. It is not intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale or termination of your securities, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity or bid-offer spreads. The actual trading prices of the securities may vary significantly from their indicative values.

If the repurchase value on any trading day equals zero for a particular offering of securities, those securities will be automatically accelerated on that day for an amount equal to the zero repurchase value and the holders will not receive any payment in respect of their investment.

SPECIFIC TERMS OF THE SECURITIES

In this section, references to “holders” mean those who own the securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in the securities registered in street name or in the securities issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or another depositary. Owners of beneficial interests in the securities should read the section entitled “Description of Notes – Form, Legal Ownership and Denomination of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement contain a detailed summary of additional provisions of the securities and of the senior indenture, dated as of November 22, 2006, among Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as

trustee (referred to as the trustee), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent, issuing agent and registrar, under which the securities will be issued (the “indenture”). You should read all the provisions of the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement, including information incorporated by reference, and the indenture.

No Interest

We will not make any interest payments during the term of the securities.

Denomination/Face Amount

The denomination and face amount of each security is $25. The securities have been and may be issued and sold over time at then-current market prices which may be significantly higher or lower than the face amount.

If you hold your securities to maturity, subject to the credit of the Issuer, you will receive a payment per security that will depend on the month over month performance of the Index as reflected in the index factor for the particular offering of securities, subject to the investor fee.

Current principal amount × applicable index factor on the final valuation date

For the initial calendar month, the crude oil index monthly initial level equaled 2014.188141 for the DB benchmark crude oil index and 3680.14967 for the DB optimum yield crude oil index, each the crude oil index closing level on the inception date. For each subsequent calendar month, the crude oil index monthly initial level equals the crude oil index closing level as of the opening of trading on the monthly reset date for that calendar month.

For the DB benchmark crude oil index, the crude oil index closing level will equal the closing level of the DB benchmark crude oil index as reported on Bloomberg page “DBRCL <Index>”, and for the DB optimum yield crude oil index, the crude oil index closing level will equal the closing level of the DB optimum yield crude oil index as reported on Bloomberg page “DBOLIX <Index>”, subject in each case to the occurrence of a market disruption event as described under “Market Disruption Events”; provided that on any calendar day which is not a day on which the closing level of the crude oil index is published, the crude oil index closing level will equal such level on the immediately preceding trading day.

For the initial calendar month, the TBill index monthly initial level equaled 234.895189, the TBill index closing level on the inception date. For each subsequent calendar month, the TBill index monthly initial level equals the TBill index closing level as of the opening of trading on the monthly reset date for that calendar month.

The TBill index closing level will equal the closing level of the TBill index as reported on Bloomberg page “DBTRBL3M<INDEX>”.

The inception date is June 16, 2008.

The initial calendar month is the period from the inception date to June 30, 2008.

The monthly reset date, for each calendar month, is the first calendar day of that month beginning on July 1, 2008 and ending on May 1, 2038.

The monthly valuation date, for each monthly reset date, is the last calendar day of the previous calendar month beginning on June 30, 2008 and ending on April 30, 2038.

The final valuation date is May 27, 2038.

The maturity date is June 1, 2038, subject to postponement in the event of a market

disruption event as described under “Market Disruption Events”.

The record date for the payment at maturity will be the final valuation date, whether or not that day is a business day.

A trading day is a day on which (i) the values of the sub-indices are published by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, (ii) trading is generally conducted on NYSE Arca and (iii) trading is generally conducted on the markets on which the futures contracts underlying the crude oil index are traded, in each case as determined by Deutsche Bank, as calculation agent, in its sole discretion.

A business day is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in New York City.

Payment Upon Repurchase

Prior to maturity, you may, subject to certain restrictions, offer for repurchase by Deutsche Bank a minimum of 200,000 securities (or an integral multiple of 50,000 securities in excess thereof) from a single offering. If you comply with the repurchase procedures described below, Deutsche Bank will be obligated to repurchase your securities, and on the applicable repurchase date, you will receive in exchange for those securities you have selected for repurchase a cash payment per security equal to the repurchase value on the applicable valuation date.

On any trading day, the repurchase value will equal:

Current principal amount × applicable index factor on the trading day

× fee factor on the trading day

See “Repurchase Mechanics” below for additional requirements for offering your securities for repurchase.

A valuation date is the trading day on which you deliver an effective notice by 10 a.m. offering your securities for repurchase by Deutsche Bank.

In the event that payment upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank is deferred beyond the original repurchase date as provided herein, no interest or other amount will accrue or be payable with respect to that deferred payment.

The securities are not redeemable at the option of Deutsche Bank but may be accelerated if the repurchase value equals zero or if a regulatory event has occurred and, in the opinion of the calculation agent, is materially interfering with our ability to effectively hedge our exposure under the securities.

The daily repurchase feature is intended to induce arbitrageurs to counteract any trading of the securities at a premium or discount to their indicative value, though there can be no assurance that arbitrageurs will employ the repurchase feature in this manner.

Repurchase Procedures

To effect a repurchase, you must irrevocably offer at least 200,000 securities (or an integral multiple of 50,000 securities in excess thereof) from a single offering to DBSI no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on your desired valuation date, which must be no later than the final valuation date. The transaction will settle on the repurchase date, which will be the third business day following the applicable valuation date.

If you wish to offer your securities to Deutsche Bank for repurchase, you and your broker must follow the following procedures:

•

your broker must book a delivery vs. payment trade with respect to your securities on the applicable valuation date at a price equal to the applicable repurchase value, facing DBSI; and

•

cause your DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the applicable repurchase date (the third business day following the valuation date, subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event as described under “Market Disruption Events”).

Different brokers and DTC participants may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, you should consult the brokerage firm or other DTC participant through which you own your interest in the securities in respect of such deadlines. If DBSI does not receive your offer for repurchase by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on your desired valuation date, your notice will not be effective and we will not accept your offer to repurchase your securities on the applicable repurchase date. Any repurchase instructions that we receive in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable.

DBSI may charge a fee of up to $0.03 per security which is repurchased.

Acceleration Upon Zero Repurchase Value

Acceleration Upon a Regulatory Event

purposes of the terms of the securities. The transaction will settle on the “acceleration date”, which will be the third business day following the applicable valuation date. We will give you notice of the acceleration of the securities through the customary channels.

A “regulatory event” means:

(a) an amendment to or change (including any officially announced proposed change) in the laws, regulations or rules of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), any jurisdiction in which a relevant exchange is located or any commodities exchange or market that occurs on or after the inception date; or

Default Amount on Event of Default Acceleration

If an event of default occurs and the maturity of the securities is accelerated, we will pay the default amount in respect of each security at maturity. We describe the default amount below under “– Default Amount.”

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our Series A global notes, of which the securities are a part, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the initial principal amount of each security outstanding as the principal amount of that security. Although the terms of the securities may differ from those of the other Series A global notes, holders of specified percentages in principal amount of all Series A global notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt securities, will be able to take action affecting all the Series A global notes, including the securities. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the Series A global notes, accelerating the maturity of the Series A global notes after a default or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture.

Default Amount

If a holder of a security accelerates the maturity of the security upon an event of default under

the indenture referenced in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the amount payable upon acceleration will be the repurchase value determined by the calculation agent on the next trading day.

Further Issuances

We may, from time to time, without your consent, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions as the securities offered by this pricing supplement. If there is substantial demand for the securities, we may issue additional securities frequently. Such additional securities will be fungible with the outstanding securities.

Market Disruption Events

A disrupted day is any trading day on which a market disruption event occurs or is continuing.

With respect to either crude oil index, if any monthly valuation date, valuation date or the final valuation date (each a “reference date”) is a disrupted day with regard to the underlying futures contract included in such crude oil index (a “disrupted futures contract”), the calculation agent will calculate the value of such crude oil index using closing prices of the underlying futures contracts included in such crude oil index as follows:

(a) for all non-disrupted futures contracts, the closing price used by the calculation agent will be the closing price of the non-disrupted futures contract on the scheduled reference date; and

(b) for all disrupted futures contracts, the closing price used by the calculation agent will be the closing price of each disrupted futures contract on the next succeeding trading day that is not a disrupted day with regard to that disrupted futures contract; provided that if the ten successive scheduled trading days immediately following the scheduled reference date are all disrupted days with regard to the specific disrupted futures contract, the calculation agent will determine, in its sole discretion, and use, the closing price of such disrupted futures contract on the tenth scheduled trading day immediately following such reference date, notwithstanding that such tenth scheduled trading day is a disrupted day with regard to such disrupted futures contract.

For the purposes of calculating the relevant crude oil index in the case of a market disruption event, the calculation agent will use the instrument amount for each underlying futures contract as of the scheduled reference date, even if such reference date is a disrupted day for the relevant underlying futures contract.

If any reference date is a disrupted day, no adjustment will be made to the TBill index closing level which is used for that reference date.

If any valuation date or the final valuation date is a disrupted day and the date as of which the calculation agent determines the closing level of the relevant crude oil index falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled repurchase date or acceleration date corresponding to such valuation date or the maturity date, as applicable, such scheduled repurchase date, acceleration date or the maturity date, as applicable, will be postponed to the third business day following the date as of which the calculation agent has determined the closing level of the relevant crude oil index for such valuation date or the final valuation date, as applicable.

Any of the following will be a market disruption event with respect to any underlying futures contract:

•

a material limitation, suspension or disruption in the trading of the underlying futures contract which results in a failure by the trading facility on which the relevant contract is traded to report a daily contract reference price (the price of the relevant contract that is used as a reference or benchmark by market participants);

•

the daily contract reference price for the underlying futures contract is a “limit price”, which means that the daily contract reference price for such contract has increased or decreased from the previous day’s daily contract reference price by the maximum amount permitted under the applicable rules or procedures of the relevant trading facility;

•

failure by the index sponsor to publish the closing value of the relevant crude oil index or of the applicable trading facility or other

price source to announce or publish the daily contract reference price for the underlying futures contract;

•

any other event, if the calculation agent determines in its sole discretion that the event materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind all or a material portion of a hedge with respect to the securities that we or our affiliates have effected or may effect.

The following events will not be market disruption events:

•

a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading on a trading facility on which the underlying futures contract is traded, but only if the limitation results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market; or

•

a decision by a trading facility to permanently discontinue trading in the underlying futures contract.

Discontinuance or Modification of the Index

If the index sponsor discontinues compilation or publication of a sub-index and the index sponsor or any other person or entity (including Deutsche Bank) calculates and publishes an index that the calculation agent determines is comparable to such discontinued sub-index and approves as a successor index, then the calculation agent will determine the level of the Index on any relevant date and the amount payable at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank by reference to such successor sub-index for the period following the discontinuation of the sub-index.

If the calculation agent determines that the publication of a sub-index is discontinued and that there is no applicable successor index, or that the closing level of the sub-index is not available for any reason other than a market disruption event, on the date on which the level of the sub-index is required to be determined, or if for any other reason (excluding a market disruption event) the sub-index is not available to us or the calculation agent on the relevant date, the calculation agent will determine the amount payable by a computation methodology that the calculation agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate such sub-index.

If the calculation agent determines that one or more sub-indices, the components underlying one or more sub-indices (the “index components”) or the method of calculating one or more sub-indices has been changed at any time in any respect – including any addition, deletion or substitution and any reweighting or rebalancing of index components, and whether the change is made by the index sponsor under its existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor index, is due to events affecting one or more of the index components, or is due to any other reason – then the calculation agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments to such sub-index or method of calculating such sub-index as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the level of such sub-index used to determine the amount payable on the maturity date or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank is equitable.

All determinations and adjustments to be made by the calculation agent with respect to the level of the sub-indices and the amount payable at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank or otherwise relating to the level of the sub-indices may be made in the calculation agent’s sole discretion. See “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for a discussion of certain conflicts of interest which may arise with respect to the calculation agent.

Manner of Payment and Delivery

Any payment on or delivery of the securities at maturity will be made to accounts designated by you and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City, but only when the securities are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

Role of Calculation Agent

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch will serve as the calculation agent. The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, make all determinations regarding the value of the securities, including at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank, the current principal amount, market disruption events, business days, trading days, the fee

factor, the index factors, the default amount, the closing levels of the sub-indices on any valuation date, the maturity date, repurchase dates, the amount payable in respect of your securities at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank and any other calculations or determinations to be made by the calculation agent as specified herein. The calculation agent will rely upon the published levels of the sub-indices, unless a market disruption event occurs in which case it may determine the closing level of the relevant crude oil index as specified herein. If the index sponsor discontinues compilation or publication of any sub-index, the calculation agent may designate a successor index selected in its sole discretion (which may, but need not be, an index calculated and maintained by the index sponsor) and shall be solely responsible for determining the value of the securities based on its calculation of such successor index. The calculation agent will also be required to determine whether a regulatory event has occurred which gives rise to our right to accelerate the securities. Absent manifest error, all determinations of the calculation agent will be final and binding on you and us, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. You will not be entitled to any compensation from us for any loss suffered as a result of any of the above determinations by the calculation agent.

CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT

The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participants that hold the securities through DTC on behalf of investors will follow the settlement practices applicable to equity securities in DTC’s settlement system with respect to the primary distribution of the securities and secondary market trading between DTC participants.

USE OF PROCEEDS AND HEDGING

We will use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities for the purposes we describe in the attached prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into transactions to hedge our obligations under the securities. Such transactions may involve purchases of the sub-index components

or instruments linked to the Index or the sub-indices. From time to time, we may enter into additional hedging transactions or unwind those hedging transactions previously entered into. In this regard, we may:

•

acquire or dispose of long or short positions in some or all of the sub-index components;

•

acquire or dispose of long or short positions in listed or over-the-counter options, futures, or other instruments linked to some or all of the sub-index components or the sub-indices;

•

acquire or dispose of long or short positions in listed or over-the-counter options, futures, or other instruments linked to the level of other similar market indices; or

•

engage in any combination of the above activities.

We may acquire a long or short position in securities similar to the securities from time to time and may, in our or their sole discretion, hold or resell those securities.

We may close out our hedge positions on or before the final valuation date. That step may involve sales or purchases of the sub-index components, listed or over-the-counter options or futures on index components or listed or over-the-counter options, futures, or other instruments linked to the levels of the sub-indices, as well as other indices designed to track the performance of the sub-indices.

The hedging activity discussed above may adversely affect the levels of the sub-indices and, as a consequence, the market value of the securities and the amount payable at maturity or upon repurchase by Deutsche Bank. See “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for a discussion of possible adverse effects related to our hedging activities.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities to an investor who holds the securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof (the “Code”). This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and currently effective and proposed Treasury regulations, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. It does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to an investor in light of the investor’s particular circumstances or to certain types of investors subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as certain former citizens or residents of the United States, certain financial institutions, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt entities, dealers and certain traders in securities, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons who hold the securities as a part of a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion or integrated transaction, U.S. holders (as defined below) who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, or individual non-U.S. investors who are present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year in which their securities are sold or retired. In particular, the following discussion does not apply to an investor who simultaneously holds (i) a Crude Oil Long ETN and (ii) a Crude Oil Short ETN or a Crude Oil Double Short ETN. In this case, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of the straddle rules to your investment.

Tax Treatment of the Securities

We believe it is reasonable to treat the securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with the consequences described below. Due to the absence of authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the securities, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment described herein. Accordingly, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible

alternative treatments, some of which are discussed below) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction. Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion assumes that the treatment of the securities as prepaid financial contracts will be respected.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

You are a “U.S. holder” if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are a beneficial owner of a security who is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Tax Treatment Prior to Maturity. You should not recognize taxable income over the term of the securities prior to retirement, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, as described below.

Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the Securities. Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of the securities, you will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange or retirement and your tax basis in the securities. Your tax basis should equal the amount you paid to acquire them. This gain or loss should be capital gain or loss and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the securities for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities. Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper tax treatment of the securities, the IRS or a court might not uphold the treatment described above. Alternative U.S. federal income tax treatments of the securities are possible that, if applied, could materially and adversely affect the timing and/or character of the income or loss with respect to the securities. It is possible, for example, that the securities could be treated as debt instruments issued by us. Under this treatment, the securities would be governed by Treasury regulations relating to the taxation of contingent

payment debt instruments. In that event, even if you are a cash-method taxpayer, in each year that you held the securities you would be required to accrue into income “original issue discount” based on our comparable yield for similar non-contingent debt, determined at the time of issuance of the securities, even though no cash would be received prior to retirement. In addition, any income on the sale, exchange or retirement of the securities would be treated as ordinary in character. Moreover, if you were to recognize a loss above certain thresholds, you could be required to file a disclosure statement with the IRS.

Other alternative U.S. federal income tax characterizations of the securities might also require you to include amounts in income during the term of the securities and/or might treat all or a portion of the gain or loss on the sale or settlement of the securities as ordinary income or loss or as short-term capital gain or loss, without regard to how long you held the securities. For instance, it is possible that each replacement of a futures contract underlying the crude oil index, annual rebalancing of the crude oil index, change in the index methodology or substitution of a successor index could be treated as a “deemed” taxable exchange that could cause you to recognize gain or loss (subject, in the case of loss, to possible application of the “wash sale” rules) as if you had sold or exchanged the securities.

In December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the exchange-traded status of the instruments; the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest

charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

You are a “non-U.S. holder” if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are a beneficial owner of a security who is: (i) a nonresident alien individual; (ii) a foreign corporation; or (iii) a foreign estate or trust.

Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the Securities. Under current law, any gain from the sale, exchange or retirement of the securities should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, unless that gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States, as described below.

Tax Consequences under Possible Alternative Treatments. If the securities were treated as indebtedness, any payments or accruals made or deemed to be made would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, provided generally that (i) you certified on IRS Form W-8BEN, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person and otherwise satisfied applicable requirements and (ii) any income from the securities was not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

As described above under “– Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the Securities,” in December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the securities. The notice focuses, among other things, on the degree, if any, to which income realized with respect to such

instruments by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax. It is possible that any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues might require non-U.S. holders to accrue income, subject to withholding tax, over the term of the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice.

Income Effectively Connected with a Trade or Business in the United States. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and if income from the securities is effectively connected with your conduct of that trade or business, you generally will be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. holder. In order to claim an exemption from withholding, you will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI. If this paragraph applies to you, you should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the possible imposition of a 30% branch profits tax if you are a corporation.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Proceeds received from a sale, exchange or retirement of the securities will be subject to information reporting unless you are an “exempt recipient” (such as a domestic corporation) and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer identification number, if you are a U.S. holder) or meet certain other conditions. If you are a non-U.S. holder and you provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable, you will generally establish an exemption from backup withholding.

Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

DBSI, acting as our agent, sold $5 million of the securities on the inception date directly to initial investors at $25 per security. After the inception date, additional securities were offered and will be offered and sold from time to time, at prevailing prices at the time of sale, through DBSI, acting as our agent, to investors. DBSI in any subsequent distribution may charge a purchase fee of up to $0.03 per security. We will receive proceeds equal to 100% of the offering price of securities sold after the inception date. DBSI may also receive a payment from Deutsche Bank of a portion of the investor fee in consideration for its administrative role in the issuances and repurchases of the securities.

DB Commodity Services LLC and Deutsche Bank have entered into an agreement with Invesco Aim Distributors, Inc. (“Invesco”) under which Invesco will receive a portion of the investor fee in consideration for its role in marketing the securities. The actual amount received by Invesco in a given year will depend on the number of securities then outstanding and the number of other then outstanding securities issued by Deutsche Bank and certain statutory trusts which DB Commodity Services LLC serves as managing owner and marketed by Invesco. The amount paid to Invesco is subject to limitations on the amount of compensation which may be paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), such as Invesco.

We may deliver securities against payment therefor on a date that is greater than three business days following the date of sale of any securities. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to transact in securities that are to be issued more than three business days after the related trade date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Broker-dealers may make a market in the securities, although none of them are obligated

to do so and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. This prospectus (including this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus) may be used by such dealers in connection with market-making transactions. In these transactions, dealers may resell a security covered by this prospectus that they acquire from other holders after the original offering and sale of the securities, or they may sell a security covered by this prospectus in short sale transactions.

Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some of their activities may result in their being deemed participants in the distribution of the securities in a manner that would render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. Among other activities, broker-dealers and other persons may make short sales of the securities and may cover such short positions by borrowing securities from us or our affiliates or by purchasing securities from us or our affiliates subject to our obligation to repurchase such securities at a later date. As a result of these activities, these market participants may be deemed statutory underwriters. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. A determination of whether a particular market participant is an underwriter must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the participant in the particular case, and the example mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that would lead to designation as an underwriter and subject a market participant to the prospectus-delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. This prospectus will be deemed to cover any short sales of securities by market participants who cover their short positions with securities borrowed or acquired from us or our affiliates in the manner described above.

Deutsche Bank has retained DBSI, a member of FINRA, to provide certain services relating to the distribution of the securities. The amount of the fees that represent underwriting compensation will not exceed a total of 8% of the proceeds to us from the securities.

We own, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of DBSI. The net proceeds received from the sale of the securities will be used, in part, by DBSI or one of its affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities. In accordance with NASD Rule 2720, DBSI may not make sales of the securities to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer.

BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including entities such as collective investment funds, partnerships and separate accounts whose underlying assets include the assets of such plans (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plans’ particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the securities. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans subject to Section 4975 of the Code (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), from engaging in certain transactions involving the “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (“Parties in Interest”) with respect to such Plans. As a result of our business, we are a Party in Interest with respect to many Plans. Where we are a Party in Interest with respect to a Plan (either directly or by reason of ownership of our subsidiaries), the purchase, holding or disposition of the securities by or on behalf of the Plan would be a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief were available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption (as described below) or there was some other basis on which the transaction was not prohibited.

Certain prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase, holding or disposition of the securities. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers). In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code may provide a limited exemption for the purchase, holding and disposition of the securities, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of the Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the Plan pays no more, and receives no less, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider exemption”).

Accordingly, the securities may not be purchased or held by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchaser or holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or the service provider exemption or there is some other basis on which the purchase and holding of the securities is not prohibited. Each purchaser or holder of the securities or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase of the securities that (a) its purchase and holding of the securities is not made on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition of the securities will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33)

of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) are not subject to these “prohibited transaction” rules of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to similar rules under other applicable laws or documents (“Similar Laws”). Accordingly, each purchaser or holder of the securities shall be deemed to represent by its acquisition of a security that its acquisition, holding and disposition will not be prohibited under applicable Similar Laws.

Due to the complexity of the applicable rules, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their counsel regarding the relevant provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws and the availability of exemptive relief under such laws.

Each purchaser and holder of the securities has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase, holding and disposition of the securities does not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws. The sale of any securities to any Plan or plan subject to similar laws is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by such plans generally or any particular plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for plans generally or any particular plan.

LEGAL MATTERS

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has acted as special counsel to the agent. Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has in the past represented the issuer and its affiliates and continues to represent the issuer and its affiliates on a regular basis and in a variety of matters.

where,

Current principal amount	=	For the period from the inception date to June 30, 2008 (the “initial calendar month”), the current principal amount was equal to $25.00 per security. For each subsequent calendar month, the current principal amount will be reset as follows on the monthly reset date:

		New current principal amount	=	Previous current principal amount x applicable index factor on the applicable monthly valuation date x fee factor on the applicable monthly valuation date

Index factor	=	Index factor for Crude Oil Double Short ETNs: = 1 + TBill index return – (2 x DB benchmark crude oil index return) Index factor for Crude Oil Short ETNs: = 1 + TBill index return – DB benchmark crude oil index return Index factor for Crude Oil Long ETNs: = 1 + TBill index return + DB optimum yield crude oil index return
