While there are a number of devices that delay the stall, in the end if you push it too far, you will stall.
Of course a stall by itself doesn't result in a spin.
It is very, very rare to find an aircraft of any type that cannot spin. I only have experience of one type of Glider that could fit that bill and am confident that aircraft of the 1930/40 era would have to be specially designed.
The Me 109 isn't one of those aircraft. I don't disagree when people say that it was a difficult aircraft to spin and that the model is wrong, but go to the extream and it will depart.
