You can however force it to by adding a -t flag to the first SSH-command.

This, however, doesn’t yield the exact same result as the ProxyCommand explained above, since you are using SSH on the intermediate host. This implies that you need to have agent-forwarding (the -A flag, as you already figured out), but also that port-forwardings (-L and -R) are done to/from the intermediate host instead of your local machine!

but then you are not using a normal interactive terminal on the second host.

So I’m looking into another way to get a terminal…
