Default an automatic ejection system posible in wwii

when you activate the control the mechanism automatically:

sets full trotle beyond engine capabilities(youre no using it again)

pitches up 20º kind of slow

ejects the canopy and losens the sitbelt

fully pitches down 15º with which the force will pull you out of the plane

open the parchute

I seem to remember several accounts of fighter pilots doing this manually in WWII.

Stuff they are giving him... I want some...

Why would they do insanely hard and unrealible automatic mechanical switch to do that, when they could more easily just put couple of grams TNT under your seat and shoot you up from the plane?
Oh yeah they did have pilot ejection in Heinkel He 219, He-162 and Dornier Do 335

That would have needed some kind of advanced flight computer I think.
Not quite something that was present in WW2

Back then it was best to rely on the best flight comp available, the pilot.
I believe this technique, pulling up, and pushing the stick with your feet, was the most used by all pilots that ejected successfully (alive ) in extreme conditions during WW2.

Just build the aircraft split down the middle and held together with a hinge in the tail and a pin in the cockpit. Pilot unfastens belt, pulls pin and the fuselage is pulled open like a clam shell by the air flow, inertia keeps the pilot moving forward and clear of the aircraft.
