I wrote it in German and I’ll repeat it here. The headlines are misleading.
The youth did not turn to the (extreme) right.
There was a shift to the (moderate and extreme) right bloc across all ages. This is within the typical range for Germany. (Throughout history, the left did not win many elections.)
And there was a shift inside the right bloc to the extreme. This is somewhat unusual, but again, it happened throughout all ages. It’s not young people.
In fact, the youngest voter group gave fewer votes to the right than any other group. (However, they also did not vote for greens as much as five years ago.)
The Nazi parties only win if we let them steal the media narrative.
