She and her husband were opponents of the Nazi regime and were forced into exile in Italy in 1939 and later to Hungary. When Germany occupied Hungary in October 1944, Antonia and her children were captured, while Rupprecht evaded arrest as he was still in Italy. She and her children were imprisoned at Sachsenhausen. They were moved to Dachau concentration camp in early April, 1945, but were liberated that same month. The ordeal led her to vow never to return to German soil.
