Ofhr. Werner Blassing

I am seeking information about Ofhr. Werner Blassing, a pilot with II./JG 11, including any personal and/or service information I can find. He scored his first aerial victory on 8 March 1944 by shooting down a B-17 from the 388th Bomb Group (45th Combat Wing, 8th Air Force). He was credited with shooting down two more B-17s on 11 April 1944. On 24 April 1944, Ofhr. Blassing fell in air combat over Lorsch [about twenty miles south of Frankfürt am Main]. This information comes from Jochen Prien’s information from Einsatz in der Reichsverteidigung von 1939 bis 1945, Jagdgeschwader 1 und 11, Teil 2, 1995; also a report I found about his first aerial victory on March 8. I wonder whether anyone has access to service records or other information that I might learn more about Ofhr. Blassing, for example, age, birthplace, dates of training, service, whether wingman or lead, whether married, any children, names of parents, anything.
