If you had to pay the additional VAT in Germany you can reclaim it from customs.
What you need is a "Abgabenbescheid" which you can get at

Then, since we are in Germany, you have to obey ... erm ... I mean follow the process:

With luck you can also get your 6EUR fee from DHL back using this link (once you have the "Abgabenbescheid").

Important
The label on my package says that there is a one month deadline for this.
So be quick or be screwed (well not totally, since Gordon is so nice to reimburse you, but anyway).
I can't yet say if this works, since I've only gotten around step 1 before writing up this post.
