"That the Apocalypse was not written by the same hand which wrote the Gospel and the Epistle, is clear as the light of the sun."--G.H.A Ewald
I really don't know that much about the debate. I know from the beginning there were questions about the authorship of the Revelation. It seems an entire industry has sprung up around the Johannine Authorship debate; though not nearly as large as the "Who Will Be The Next Antichrist?" debate that has created the massive Dispensational Industrial Complex, with their incredible book and movie sales.

Well another dodge. You posted these guys as evidence but don’t seem to know “why” and for what motives they hold to an earlier date.
You know you need to post the link to where each one listed an early date. I ask because for some of these German dudes there are only German websites. So please send us a link so we can investigate your sources.
