I don't see the connection.

Do you actually read the posts people respond to you with? It is apparent you have great difficulty grasping the context of many of them, so I will need to explain my perfectly clear and highlighted in bold quote was saying the elevators remain effective in the stall, did you get that? The elevators remain effective in the stall......now if you have effective elevators you have the ability to pitch beyond critical angle of attack, now are going to stick with the theory that the 109 had some form of pitch inhibition?

The Bf-109 exhibits the same normal behavior for LE Slats. It is difficult at best to get it to spin under normal operating conditions

Under normal operating conditions

Now is pulling hard turns in combat 'normal operating conditions'?
