Identification question--Fuchbauer

I am looking for assistance in deciphering the abbreviation “BD2". This is some type of military award/decoration. I am trying to find out what medals were awarded to H. Fuchtbauer. He received the Order of Max Joseph (Knight’s Cross). I have found information about this fellow on several websites, especially those related to the Order of Max Joseph. They gave a list of his medals as given below. I think I figured most of them out, but I cannot figure out what “BD2" stands for. I figure the “2" for a second class award, but to what, I do not know. Any help would be appreciated. (Also, did I get the other abbreviations correct?) Thanks.
