PanzerBobs report on battle 2 was classic German propaganda.
Here's the BBC version:
The German's certainly put up a better defense in this second battle; however, it cost them dearly.
German casualties were almost exactly double that of the British in men and equipment.
The German assertion that the British suffered 50% casualties was likely the result of a radio chatter intercept that was sloppily translated.
This sort of thing:

One of the five British companies (C co, an infantry company) suffered 50% casualties. But important to the campaign, this infantry company only had two of its 14 sections completely wiped out.
Another British infantry company suffered only 8 casualties.
Two infantry officers, Lt Thompson and Lt Parrot won MC's for agressive engagement of the enemy, and superb leadership, and Sgt Smith an Armoured car commander won a DCM for a stunning performance that included knocking out two PzIII a StugIII and a Halftrack.
However, Capt Valentine CO of C company, has been given a warning, as have one of his platoon commanders. Many of those casualties could have been avoided.
