While it could be theorically possible, however to be as hardcore (or masochisticly) realistic as possible we would need a Kriegsmarine Enigma code book as settings changed everyday. And do you really want to take one to two hours for deciphering each message? And what about triple-coded messages for the Captain's eyes only?

Most of the time, deciphering was an underling's job, the Captain receiving only the deciphered message at the end:

Once-coded : Radioman
Twice-coded : 2WO
Thrice-coded : Captain.
