Re: Researching the history of a radio operator
Hi - my Great-Uncle was a Bordfunker aswell although sadly killed in an accident not long after he joined KG54. We didn't have any of his records at all other than his death card and a few photos, oh and his old Spanish guitar too. As suggested above we went to the Bundesarchiv and got a huge pack of his records back - mainly training records and his Soldbuch. Didn't cost much and I think we got the photcopies back about a month after we submitted the request. The only thing I might add is that he died relatively early on in the war and I gather later war records were mostly destroyed in bombing, as your grandfather survived his records might have been lost too, but worth checking and good luck.
