Germany invaded France in World War II, Wiegand secured an interview with Hitler and published his report "Europe for the Europeans: Adolf Hitler on the international situation during the war in France; An interview granted to Karl v. Wiegand, Führer's Headquarters, June 11, 1940". Later, Lady Drummond-Hay and Wiegand were interned in a Japanese camp in Manila, Philippines. When they were set free in 1943, she was very ill. They returned to the United States, but during their stay in New York Drummond-Hay died of coronary thrombosis in the Lexington Hotel. After her cremation, Karl brought her ashes back to the United Kingdom. He died of pneumonia in Zurich in 1961 at the age of 86.
