In the negotiations of the DKP-DRP with the German party and the Hessian National Democratic Party on July 1, 1949 about a joint election to the 1949 federal election , Jaeger participated for his party together with Ludwig Schwecht , Eldor Borck , Leonhard Schlueter , Lothar Steuer and Adolf von Thadden part. Although the plans had advanced quite far, they ultimately failed. The reason was the declaration by the British military government that a merger party would not receive a license and could therefore not stand for election.
