Answer
If North were on lead, this would be a breeze by drawing the enemy trumps; but South cannot do this. If South leads winners, East and West will each win a trump trick. There is only one solution: South must lose a trick to the singleton D K, as silly as it might seem.

Cash the C A and pitch the H Q from North, then lead the D J (or queen). West must give North the lead, and South jettisons his top diamonds on North’s aces to leave the North hand high.
