The real winners are the leftist party who got 8.7%.

Probably most of those voters voted SPD or die Grüne before but lost trust. Happened in Belgium too...

Yep. SPD lost way more to Union and AfD, though, and the Greens got out of this whole thing relatively unscathed, they have a quite stable basis.

Fun fact: Die Linke gained more voters from CDU and FDP than they lost to the AfD.

switching from a socialist party to afd seems wild to me but ok

Protest voters be protest voting. Unless what they want is actually achieved they'll start hopping from party to party, usually in the direction of "this will be the greater middle finger to the establishment". It's people who think that kicking their car when it doesn't start will fix it.

Its exactly like this. Most of their voters came from these two parties.

In Belgium they also pulled votes from the far right, though.

that's just people who want change but don't know what to vote so they just vote for whichever populist politician screams harder
