Hitler's second in command was Herman Goering.

The party structure had no such position. Martin Borman is generally said to be the second most powerful in the regime. Admiral Karl Doenitz took over after Hitler committed suicide, by a decree in his will.

Part of the way Hitler kept his power without regular Stalin-style purges was to keep his rivals undermining each other: so Bormann and Himmler were always against each other. There were two army command staffs: the OKW and OKH, with overlapping responsibilities. Some men could answer to Hitler directly, short-circuiting the chain of command- such as Rommel when he led the forces defending Normandy... even though he was theoretically subordinate to Von Rundstedt.

Everywhere there were overlapping responsibilities, poorly-defined authority structures, and 'special deals'.

There was no position of Vice Furher or Vice Chancellor and there were independent staffs with their own chain of command. Next to Hitler, Heinrich Himmler was the most powerful and feared as he was head of the dreaded SS, but Herman Goering was considered to be second in command and headed the German air force, the Luftwaffe and Hitler's right hand man..

His buddy Herman Goerring was second in command up until near the very end. Prior to Germany's surrender, Hitler stripped him of his duties and gave his authority to Grand Admirial Donitz. Goerring had prematurely took control and tried to negotiate a peace with the allies.....Adolpf was pissed.

It was Hermann Goering up to the end of Hitler's life. Then before he died he was made aware of Goering's supposed treachery to get a peace treaty with the Allies without the Russians and taking matters into his own hands.Hitler named Admiral Doenitz in his stead.
