I don't understand why you find difficult to grasp that pilots have to be trained to get out of a spin in a plane they fly in combat.

Glider,
They were trained but they did not spin Spitfires intentionally. The RAF Training Manual clearly states you will not intentionally spin an aircraft that is placarded against spinning.
The FAA, in following convention estabilished by British law says:

Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins. Before practicing intentional spins, the AFM or POH should be consulted for the proper entry and recovery techniques.

The pilot of an airplane placarded against intentional spins should assume that the airplane may become uncontrollable in a spin.
