He was a central figure in wartime espionage, and was involved in a number of sabotage acts and plots to hamper the Entente in World War I.

After the war, Bernstorff retired to Germany at the dawn of the Weimar Republic. With the rise of the Nazi Party, Bernstorff left Germany for Switzerland, where he died in 1939.
