The 109 pilot needs high speed and trim to break his plane with the elevators.
Just to keep it simple.

The problem that I have is that they didn't break up, there are hardly any examples of this happening.
I have said a number of times that I would expect to find a small number as their could be a number of reasons why an aircraft was weakened resulting in a break up but so far only one has been presented and so much happened to that aircraft before it broke up it was close to a miracle that it stayed together as long as it did.
Find some examples of it happening and we can debate it but without any them there is no reason to include it in the Sim.
That said I do reconfirm that if a pilot doesn't take remedial action almost immediately entering a high speed spin or roll then there should be a chance of break up. Any aircraft stands a chance of breaking up in those situations.
The poor bugger would probably be trapped by G forces even if the plane did hold together
I should add that the Me110 seems to have a much bigger problem than the Spit
