What is spinner attachment? And no, it's not cannon barrel.

Side note: note unpainted MG barrel troughs.

My first thought is that its a huck starter hub. But I think all DB engines were started with hand cranks

Duell der Adler: Supermarine Spitfire gegen Messerschmitt Bf 109

Im Ringen um die Luftherrschaft spielten im Zweiten Weltkrieg Jagdflugzeuge die entscheidende Rolle. Beide Seiten befanden sich im ständigen Wettbewerb. Der technische Wettlauf zwischen der Messerschmitt Bf 109 und der Supermarine Spitfire macht dies deutlich.

Variante: Messerschmitt Bf 109 E

Rund 35 000 Messerschmitt Bf 109 aller Bauarten wurden produziert. Die Variante Messerschmitt Bf 109 E war die erste Ausführung der Bf 109, die nicht nur in großem Umfang an die Jagdeinheiten der Luftwaffe, sondern auch an ausländische Streitkräfte geliefert wurde.

They were towing the aircraft by the prop gearbox? dang, that sounds like a good way to break something

 

[Wurger]

Therefore the idea of towed Bf 109 was given up as soon as they got the idea.

Pretty darn good!

"After a few tests at coupling, an aerial tow plow took place on April 18, 1940. The towing machine Bf 110 C-1, W.Nr. 959, CE + BU (ex D-AEGJ) flown by Dr. Wurster. Heini Dittmar sat in the towed Bf 109. After taking off from Augsburg, the team flew to Munich-Rhiem. The return flight took place in the early evening. Dittmar received an award allowance of RM 2000- for the flight. The somewhat unusual setup was no longer pursued by Messerschmidt, since the easier-to-use disposable additional containers (drop tanks) were introduced."
