Hess second-in-command?

The statement that Goering was second-in-command only after the departure of Hess I'm pretty sure is false; Hess was Deputy Fuhrer, but I'm pretty sure that is not the same thing. Historyplace.com says " On April 21, 1933, he was made Deputy Führer, a figurehead position with mostly ceremonial duties" [1] which is pretty much in line with what's been my understanding. Hess was close to Hitler, but I think the idea of him ever taking over control of the Reich was not seriously entertained by anyone. Unlike Goering, he did not have any of the qualities of a leader. It was Martin Boorman more than anyone who really stepped into Hess shoes when he took off to Scotland (and was much more effective as well). So I'm going to remove that bit.
