Infantry section in a Bren Carrier.
The best is a well timed Glider landing with commandos.

Assault any sniper you spot or is close enough to do so. Generally if not attacked they wil get off more than one shot before retreating. But eventually snipers have to be delt with. To which thats the pupose of the Sniper. Cause such a problem that the opponent feels fear and is immobilized for fear of taking losses. Untl the snipers are elimiinated or forced to retreat. The problem will remain. By the way. Its a perfectly fair and effective tactic to use several snipers when possible. If you have a tank in the area of sniper fire. Recon with the tank and most snipers will get spotted and taken out. Your mortor crew and AT crews will redirect fire to an identified sniper location. Provided you are willing to take a loss of a few guys to reslove and eliminate the threat.

Snipers are vulnerable and require a lot of micro. Play aggressively to counter snipers. If you try to camp you'll just be picked away at easily.

You can take Royal Commandos Support and use radio triangulation. Then you will know their exact position. Try to bombard them by artillery.

Another possibility is to take Royal Canadian Artillery and use Smoke Screen from Cromwell Command Tank. You can close to them without taking casaulties. Then you may have a chance.

here is another solution risky but can work if you pull it off properly
recon elements snipe abality while it doesnt have range of a full fledged sniper if you can force the sniper to reveal himself you can one shot him with that abality its expensive but can work
but in worst case you will want to use stuarts but by the time stuart rolls out invisible pak 38s and grenadiers schreks would hit the field
The answer to sniper spam is artillery. Since the whermacht opponent tends to cluster the snipers together one lucky shell can win you the game.

Use the smoke grenade ability on your foward troops using the relevant troop upgrade (also shoots far to kill snipers or infantry in cover) and follow up with a arty strike if you're in a stand-off or they have reinforcements/fortifications like a MG or bunker.

Also load in your command units in a bren/kangaroo carrier ideally before rushing offensively, as smoke will cover the sniper fire but the vehicle will tank the shots while still giving off the defensive aura & invisiblity reveal. Beware of PAK's lying in wait with camoflage enabled.

Did you build a 25lber? You can try ever 1.5 minutes. With Commando doctrine, you can use a 25lber in conjunction with Decoy Artillery and Off map Barrage to significantly increase your chance of a kill shot.

With Royal Artillery you can utilize overwatch and/or victor target to saturate an area with artillery shells.
