Diebner was rounded up on 2 May 1945 as part of the Allied Operation Alsos and taken to Huntington, England and interned at Farm Hall, with nine other scientists thought to be involved in nuclear research and development. The nine others incarcerated were Erich Bagge, Walther Gerlach, Otto Hahn, Paul Harteck, Werner Heisenberg, Horst Korsching, Max von Laue, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, and Karl Wirtz. All were involved with nuclear research except for von Laue. They were repatriated to Germany in early 1946.
From 1947/1948, Diebner was director and joint owner of DURAG-Apparatebau GmbH in Hamburg.
