Historically, the Luftwaffe pilots tended to raise the tail of the 109 early and rotate late and also tended do 2 point landings at a relative high speed (with the corresponding problem of aircraft being damaged in runway overruns). it seems to have been common Luftwaffe practice to fly the 109 that way.
On the other hand the Finish air-force apparently (with different training and operational guidelines) regularly did 3 point landings and takeoffs in their 109s. I am not sure if the lower approach speed caused the Finns any issues.
