I don’t think Toht is Belloq’s second-in-command, Belloq and Dietrich are giving the orders throughout the film while Toht doesn’t say anything for most of the film, all he did was trying to get the medallion from Marion Ravenwood in the bar and later comes in to interrogate Marion to know where the Ark is and throw Marion into the snake pit (under Dietrich’s orders) and that’s all he did, the rest of the film is just him following Belloq and Dietrich around, Dietrich had higher authority than Toht because Dietrich is a colonel and Toht is a Gestapo Major, and the scene where Toht throw Marion into the snake pit, Dietrich was the one who ordered Toht to do that, so that’s why I think Dietrich is actually Belloq’s second-in-command
