Had an eventful time in Japanese POW camps in French Indo-China, ended up in Saigon at the end of the war, from there hitched a ride on board n American plane to Rangoon, where he spent a couple of months hanging around before managing to get himself on a plane to Singapore. There he hooked up with a Dutch pilot who he persuaded to fly a Catalina flying boat to Batavia, where he finally arrived late in 1945.
As a First Lieutenant was put in charge of setting up a new transport company, the 23 cie AAT KNIL (23rd Transporty Company of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army), heading weekly operational supply convoys from Batavia to Bandung. It was during this period that he met his future wife, on the road just outside the Tjideng women's camp.
In 1948 decided to leave the army and go into business in Semarang, where, together with his brother Huib, he set up a garage and Chrysler dealership that became very successful. He continued his Chrysler connection when selling the Semarang business to a local Chinese businessman and moving back to Holland to start a new venture in Amsterdam. Apart from French brands like Simca (at one time selling 1000 Simcas in a year, making him the largest Simca dealer in Europe), Renault and Peugeot and eventually BMW, he remained true to Chrysler for many years and by the early 1970s had become the largest Chrysler dealer outside the United States. However, by the time he finally retired for good in the early 1990sand left his brother's son Ad to run the business, the Smelt enterprise had taken on an exclusive BMW focus and had moved to Bussum.
