I was hoping that the recent spate of migrant stabbings and Cars of Peace would lead to an overperformance by the AfD. Turns out that they are underperforming, although they have gained about a point compared to the first exit poll.
BSW (left-wing populist, anti-woke, anti-war) appeared to get 4.9% and thus waste all its votes - but it's looking better now. Some on the German right hate BSW because they think that it takes votes away from the AfD, but looking at the whole picture, I find that very unlikely.
The winner CDU has positioned itself as tough on immigration. They are the party of that old witch Merkel, and some party members have broken with its immigration hawk leader recently. Let's see what happens.

There was a graphic on Patriots that seemed to indicate Union has almost the same policy positions as the left wing SPD and Greens.
This is from analysing the wahl-o-mat answers (img stolen by me):
CDU is 42%/46% overlap with Greens/SPD.
obviously it's a bit flawed due to how the wahl-o-mat works.
