Fight Fanatically.
Shoot calm and contemplated; fast shots lead nowhere; concentration on the hit.
Your greatest opponent is the enemy sniper; outsmart him.
Always only fire one shot from your position; if not you will be discovered.
The trench tool prolongs your life.
Practice in distance judging
Become a master in camouflage and terrain usage.
Practice constantly; behind the front and in the homeland, your shooting skills.
Never let go of your sniper rifle.
Survival is ten times camouflage and one time firing.

For those that are interested in what life was like for a German Sniper, I recommend Sniper on the Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger, Knights Cross.
