It was not a translation error, the American prosecutor mistakenly said that Hess was second in command after Hitler and Göring third.
This caused Göring to wildly protest and loudly state: "Ich war der Zweite!" ("I was the second!")
Göring was well known for his pathological vanity, that´s why they are all laughing. Even when it´s clear that being recognized as second in command would not be beneficial, he couldn´t suppress his narcism
